Why Choose Keypad Access Control?

• Simple installation and wiring with standard 12V power and relay outputs.
• Standalone or controller-integrated options to suit small offices or large systems.
• Reduces lost-key, re-keying, or card issuance hassles.
• User codes can be added, changed, or revoked instantly.
• Weatherproof and vandal-resistant models for outdoor gates or harsh environments.

Types of Access Control Keypads Available

Our stocked brands include ZKTeco and Sunell for advanced IP/interoperable models, plus value-focused options for single doors or gates. All compatible with standard maglocks, electric strikes, and 12-24V power supplies available in our power section.

Essential Specs to Compare When Buying

• Power Input: Most models run at 12V DC; check current draw (typically 100-300mA).
• Relay Output: Double-check contact rating for your door lock (standard: 1A @ 30V DC or similar).
• Ingress Protection: IP65/IP66 for weatherproof units if installing outdoors.
• User Capacity: Varies from 50-2000 users; useful for staff or student access.
• Mounting: Surface vs flush - check enclosure depth for walls or pedestals.

Selecting the Right Keypad for Your Project

Whether you are upgrading security at a small business, retrofitting a workshop, or specifying a multi-tenant facility, an access control keypad delivers simple authorisation for day-to-day users. Here's how to narrow your options:

• Estimate the number of users or doors. For more than 100 users or audit trails, consider IP/networked keypads linked to controllers.
• If you require card or tag access, select a keypad with integrated RFID or Wiegand output for use with secondary controllers.
• For extreme locations (e.g. outside gates in Gauteng storms), select an IP65+ rated, robust keypad with metallic finishes.
• Always check compatibility with your maglock/strike and power supply voltage.
• Choose wired connection for highest reliability; wireless/battery options are rare and typically not suited for commercial use.

Connect exit buttons and door position sensors as required by your security needs. For larger or multi-door sites, consult our support team about expansion controllers and software integration with brands like ZKTeco.
