Alpro’s ranges of waterproof keypads, along with the exit switches, are components that can be used in access control systems. These waterproof keypads are tested to the IP68 standard and so are suitable for both internal and external applications. The units are designed to operate other components of the access control system such as electric door strikes, electric bolts and various door magnets.

Keypads have either raised buttons with which to input a code, or in the case of the Alpro keypads the buttons are hard anodised into the surface of the unit to deter vandalism. Some keypads also have the facility of Braille to aid the visually impaired person. Keypads are also in general backlit to allow the user during the hours of darkness to see the keypad.

Keypads also have the facility to be surface or mortise mounted, depending upon the application required.   Exit switches are also a valuable addition to any access control situation and can be both mortise and surface mounted depending on the application in question. As the name would suggest a simple operation of a button mounted on the unit, allows the current to be broken to the system, thereby allowing exit from a door.
