Standard Wireless Keypad

Simple code entry that actually gets used

Most driveways don’t need a full intercom stack on day one. A solid wireless keypad on a gooseneck — set in concrete at truck height — is the reliable “type a code, gate opens” setup we install with a lot of residential and light commercial systems around Shreveport and Bossier.

LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad

Our usual pick is the LiftMaster KPW series (the unit in the photos). It’s wireless to the opener, so we’re not trenching keypad cable across the driveway. You get:

• Long-range wireless to the operator
• Backlit buttons you can see at night
• Multiple codes (typically five on the KPW5) for family, guests, or vendors

It’s the keypad we standardize on with most new installs unless you need a directory, cellular call box, or managed tenant credentials.

Gooseneck pedestal — done right

We mount keypads on metal posts, most often a gooseneck pedestal poured in concrete (at least one full 80 lb bag, usually more). Height is set so an SUV or pickup can reach it without climbing out into a ditch. Cheap plastic posts and “stake it in the dirt” installs fail — concrete and steel don’t.

Leaving the property: free-exit vs keypad-out

• Free-exit (most common) — A loop or sensor in the driveway detects a vehicle leaving and opens the gate automatically. You don’t type a code to get out.
• Keypad-out — A second keypad inside the property so exit also needs a code. Useful when you want tighter control both directions.
