Access control keypads are essential for secure entry at commercial, residential, and industrial premises. At Communica, you can conveniently order keypad solutions online, with models tailored to both standalone use (for doors, gates, or turnstiles) and integration with larger security systems.

All stock is held in South Africa, meaning reduced lead times for facility managers, security installers, and procurement teams needing prompt supply and VAT invoicing. These products are suitable for:

• Office and warehouse entry points
• Multi-tenant apartment or estate gates
• Commercial car parks
• Education labs and controlled classrooms

Access Keypad Types & Features

Keypads are available in several variants to match your security and network needs:

• Standalone keypads - no controller required, relay output for direct lock control.
• Networked/Wiegand keypads - for integration into access control panels.
• PIN-only vs PIN+card models - support for keypad entry and/or RFID fob/card.
• Weather-resistant and vandal-resistant (metal, IP-rated) for outdoor use.
• 12V or 24V operation, with voltage tolerance for battery-backed systems.

Selecting the Right Access Control Keypad

Consider these factors to select the right keypad for your project in South Africa:

• Number of users: Can the keypad store enough unique PINs or cards for your needs?
• Wired vs. wireless: Wired is more reliable for fixed installations; wireless offers easier retrofits.
• Mounting: Flush-mount for aesthetics, surface-mount for quick installs or rough walls.
• Environmental protection: Necessary for outdoor/industrial use - look for IP ratings in the specification.
• Power supply requirements: Confirm voltage, current, and if backup battery support is needed. PSU options available from the Power category.

Keypad Integration & Accessories

Most access control keypads are compatible with a wide range of electronic locks, maglocks, and gate motors. Accessories such as PSUs, backup batteries, and protective housings are also stocked at Communica. When pairing with existing access control panels, check which protocols (Wiegand, relay, RS-485) are supported and if the required connectors are supplied.

Example Application: Small Office Entry

A typical single-door entry system in a South African office might include:

• 1 x weather-resistant metal keypad (with or without card option)
• 1 x regulated 12V PSU (minimum 2A, estimated R300-R600 ZAR)
• 1 x fail-secure electric lock
• Surface-mount box, wiring, and signage (all available via Security & Access Control)

Installers typically complete the wiring in a few hours. For larger premises with networked access, integration with Wiegand-compatible controllers is supported-ensure the model meets your expansion needs.
