LINEAR AK-11 Exterior Digital Keypad

Great price , product and service !

The first one I received did not function properly. When the programming mode was exited, the LED did not turn red to indicate it was ready to accept my key code. Instead, the light turned green indicating it was receiving data entry. I sent it back to Amazon in exchange for another new one, and this one worked as it should. When Amazon replaced the faulty keypad, it cost me nothing. When ordering electronic equipment you should keep in mind that things dont always work right even when new. Even if you can buy it somewhere else for a little less than at Amazon, their exchange policy on electronics pays off. Im not a shill for Amazon, and I dont own any of their stock (unfortunately). Im just a satisfied customer.

All that it should have been.

Bought a house with a gate system where the keypad was dead. This was recommended by a friend I know who does gates for a living and it turned out to be a great purchase. Installation was relatively easy (although juggling wires and the unit was a little tricky. Overall excellent.

Directions are very confusing. Warranty is through the dealer. Under normal conditions the factory will only talk to a dealer. If you are fortunate enough to get the unit installed correctly--it works well.

We were unable to get it to work with the Sentry 300 gate opener, gave up.

I had this keypad professionally installed about 3 years ago. We have only used it 20 or 30 times because we mainly use remotes. It recently started to send a constant signal to the gate opener causing it to freeze up. I called tech support and they will not even talk to me without me agreeing to a minimum $50 charge. I will be taking this piece of junk out and replacing it with a product from a company that knows how to treat its customers.

Good product, works well, a little confusing at first to get the programing, but after that it was a breeze. This is the second one I bought and the first lasted about 8 years before it went dead. Would buy it again as it is sturdy and you can program 480 code and delete the one you want.

We have 12 of these units around our property and they work great, both for man gate and vehicles gates. The problem comes in when we need to replace one, as we have over 100 codes. If you use the standard 4 digit code, as we do, that is 27 key strokes for each code... Do yourself a favor and use or buy a 12 V power supply, strip the leads to bare wire, and hook up the AK-11 on your desktop for comfortable (no bend-over) programming. Once done, disconnect and install the unit in place. You still need to punch in all those codes, but at least you can do it in comfort in your office or at the workbench. Enjoy!

It was an exact replacement of the one that got run over by car
