Gate Keypads

A gate keypad has to match the automation already on the gate. PIN access is convenient, but the keypad, receiver and coding family must belong together. Appearance or a generic “access control keypad” label is not enough.

• Gate automation brand — Stay with the same brand as the operator and receiver. A BFT gate keypad will not run an unrelated brand’s system.
• Receiver / control system — The keypad has to be accepted by the receiver on the gate or control board. Not every keypad from a brand works with every motor from that brand.
• Coding and frequency — Rolling-code keypads must match a compatible rolling-code receiver. Where a listing states a frequency, it must match too.
• How the keypad connects — Gate keypads can be wired to the operator or wireless and battery-powered. This collection currently lists a wireless keypad; check the product page for how that model connects. We do not treat “wireless” as a claim that every keypad type is in stock.
• Users, PINs and channels — Confirm how many codes and channels you need, and that the listed model supports them.
• Install location — Mount where authorised users can reach it, and check the product’s environmental rating (the current BFT listing states IP55).

If you need a handheld transmitter instead of keypad entry, see gate remotes. For related automation equipment, browse sliding gate motors or the shop.

A wireless gate keypad lets authorised people open a compatible automatic gate with a PIN instead of carrying a remote. The keypad for automatic gates communicates with a compatible receiver — it is a gate access keypad for that automation system, not a standalone door lock or alarm panel.

Battery-powered models can avoid running control wiring out to the keypad location. Compatibility still matters: the keypad, coding technology and receiver have to match. The wireless keypad in this collection is specified for compatible BFT receivers, not for every automatic gate.

The BFT Q.BO Touch (model P121024) is the wireless gate keypad currently listed here. It is a battery-powered BFT keypad that uses 433.92 MHz rolling-code transmission, with 10 channels and up to 100 PINs. The listing describes an illuminated keypad, an IP55 rating, and two CR123A batteries in the kit.

Current product notes state compatibility with BFT Deimos / Ultra operators and BFT Clonix receivers. That is not a claim that the Q.BO Touch works with every BFT motor or every BFT receiver. Confirm the operator and receiver on the product page before you order. IP55 is the stated enclosure rating — it is not described here as fully waterproof.

PIN access is an alternative to a handheld remote for gate automation: visitors or trades enter a code instead of carrying another transmitter. The keypad still has to speak the same coding family as the receiver, at the listed frequency where that is specified.

On the current BFT Q.BO Touch, the listing supports up to 100 rolling-code PINs across 10 channels at 433.92 MHz. Those figures belong to this model. If other keypads are added to the collection later, check each product page rather than assuming the same PIN count, channel count or frequency.

Safety sensing at the opening is separate from keypad access. See photocells and safety beams if you need beams for the automated gate.
