Keypad Repair and Replacement
Have you experienced the inconvenience of a keypad that will not communicate with your garage door opener?
Or the flipside of this question is – have you experienced the convenience of a keypad that gains you great access AND can allow you to visually see and talk to people in your driveway while you’re on the beach?
Keypads do malfunction and they can come to an end of life where they need replacement. There are three things to consider when trouble shooting keypads that may help you dignose inconvenient issues. In this article we’ll cover the three main troubles and then share some cool insights into new technology that is now available.
The first thing to consider is the battery. Keypads on the exterior of your home are installed wireless and thus run on a 9 volt battery. If you don’t have the ability to open your door with your keypad, when you could just the other day, replace the battery in the bottom of the keypad. Keep it mounted and remove the smaller batter cover to access the battery for change out. This may engage it with the machine and you’re rolling.
If not, the second thing to explore is the keypad itself. Sometimes our desert environment can be harsh and buttons get grimmed up with dirt and debreis. Or they can get burnt by the sun. Inspect the keypad and take a light cleaning solution to the keys to remove grime. Has this helped?
Lastly for this article is to consider interference. Older machines have a lower radio frequency and these keypads are transmitters like those clickers you have in your vehicle. If you’ve lost connection one questions our trusted craftsman would ask is in regards to added wifi or LED lighting. Even solar panels on your neighbors home can erode poor operator frequencies. If this is the case, a new machien with a much higher frequencies is the solution.
Lastly, keypads today can come with cameras and wifi connectivitiy. Similar to ‘Ring’ doorbells and the like we can now peer into our driveways from far away. It’s a nice convenience if you like this sort of tech.
