Toncont Door Access Control System, Stand Alone Password Door Keypad + 5PCS ID Keyfobs, Support 2000 Users, Wiegand 26, Garage Door/Gate Opener, Weatherproof, Backlight, Zinc Alloy Metal Case

I used this as a replacement for my hard-wired garage door opener. I wanted exposed keys which eliminates all the remote openers I found. This unit is encased in epoxy making it very waterproof. The design is solid and attractive. I found it to be of better quality than the $200 unit it replaced. The keys have a great feel with lots of spring. Set up and programming was easy. You need to send 12-24v DC to the unit and, in my case, connect two wires parallel to an existing momentary door switch. To get this unit to make momentary contact for a grage door opener, you need to set toggle mode (#51#) and set the relay strike time to 1 or 2 seconds. The negatives are that the manual does not tell you to hit the # key after a pin entry; the key numbers are not backlit, although the keypad is; the wires could be longer, but they were adequate for my 6” wall; the manual is in tiny print, but you can download it from the Toncont site, and customer service did not respond to my email of 4 days ago. Even with these negatives, I still give the unit a 5.

Sturdy construction design

Realmente tiene un cuerpo fuerte, más resistente de lo que se ve, me funcionó perfectamente

When this keypad arrived, I was very impressed with how solidly made it was. The installation was a little challenging, since it didn't come with the 12v power adapter. No biggy, I got one for under $10 on Amazon. I finally got this installed and very quickly was able to program the RFID key fobs and the pin codes. The key fobs opened the door successfully, but unfortunately the operating instructions missed one important piece of information... how to enter the pin code to open the door. I tried the pin code only ... nothing. Then * followed by the pin code, and then # followed by the pin code... still nothing. Tried the chat support and while I was on with them, I tried one more thing ... pin code followed by # ... SUCCESS. Would have been nice if the instructions included this little gem of information. I was a happy camper with a working keypad. Then it got dark. I went outside to check out the backlight and found a major issue. The backlight only outlines the buttons and does not illuminate the actual numbers which were impossible to read in the dark. I am sadly having to return the keypad.

Use a code or a key fob for entry. Excellent package.
