Upgrade Security with Access Control Keypads

When you deploy an access control keypad, you add a dependable layer of security to your building, lab, or workspace. From apartment blocks and office suites to industrial sites and data centres, keypad-based entry systems enable PIN code, RFID card, or dual-authentication control. At Communica, you can choose from feature-rich models by established brands-designed for both new installs and retrofits.

South Africa's Choice for Workplace and Perimeter Security

• Standalone and networked keypad systems for small businesses, warehouses, and educational campuses.
• Weather-resistant and vandal-resistant options, built for SA's climate and high-traffic sites.
• Flexible output types: relay, REX (request-to-exit), alarm, or Wiegand for panel integration.

Communica's access control keypad range supports personnel and asset security-whether you need a simple single-door PIN keypad or a multi-user, multi-door solution with audit trails and management software.

How to Choose the Right Keypad

• Define capacity: How many users/cards/PINs? Entry-level units support 100-1,000 users; advanced panels can handle thousands.
• Check compatibility: For upgrades, does the keypad fit existing door hardware, maglocks, or your control panel (Wiegand 26/34/37-bit)?
• Consider installation: Surface/flush mount? Is a backbox or rain shield required?
• Power requirements: Most operate on 12V DC; see datasheets or Power for matching adapters or UPS for SA load-shedding protection.

Example Application: Small Business Entrance

A retail store in Johannesburg wants to control staff entry via PIN code and contactless cards, integrating with an electronic strike lock. A ZKTeco standalone access keypad (priced around ZAR 700-ZAR 1,500) wired to a strike lock and 12V PSU delivers a low-maintenance, easy-to-program solution.
