Dead keypads, unresponsive buttons, and codes that stopped working, in the order we diagnose them.
Keypads live outside in Houston sun and rain and get punched a dozen times a day. They fail, but they fail in predictable ways, and most of them are fixed on the first visit.
Here is what we check and what you can check before calling (346) 872-8671.
A battery, a reprogram, or a receiver swap is a repair. A keypad with water inside or a hardened membrane is a replacement, and we carry weather-rated replacements on the truck. If you are replacing anyway, this is the moment to move to a multi-user keypad with individual codes or a cellular system with an app, and we can reuse the existing pedestal and wiring.
A keypad that faces into the weather with no hood fails again in two years. We mount replacements with a hood, seal the pedestal, and drip-loop the wiring so water runs away from the housing.
Water got inside the housing or the pedestal wiring. Dry it out and it may work briefly, but the corrosion continues. Replacement is the reliable fix.
The keypad is sending but the receiver or the operator input is not responding. We test the receiver and reprogram or replace it.
Yes. We add, change, and delete codes on the service call and show you how to do it yourself for next time.
Yes, if we can get wire to the post. Otherwise a new wireless keypad or a cellular keypad is the answer.
Yes. Common wireless and wired keypads and receivers for major brands are on the truck for same-visit replacement.
Call and we answer within 30 minutes. The owner or a senior technician comes out, diagnoses, and gives you a written quote before any work starts.
