LINEAR AK-11 Exterior Digital Keypad

Easy to install and program

I installed three of them in less than an hour in total.:Put in battery, remove old locks (4 screws) and put in new ones. Setting it up is easy too and takes a few seconds. Im only concerned about battery life or failure but this has to be evaluated later. In our case, with three doors, it is unlikely that all locks would become unusable at the same time so that Im not that worried and. Having not to carry around keys is nice. The lock has a mode where only one button needs to be pushed to open it. I think it would be nice if there was an additional mode, where the lock is disabled and so that the door is always open and no battery life is used. Also nice would be an option a user could chose so that if the battery would fail, the door would be open. Currently, the door will remain locked without power in the batteries. (an emergency plug is present which would allow to power the lock temporarily using an external battery pack and enable the lock).

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.

This is a wonderful durable product, but can be a little intimating to program. And worst of all if you have any problems Linear who recently got bought out will no longer help you over the phone with tech support like they used to. They will ask you for your zip code and refer you to a dealer in your area who may or may not help you over the phone. The one I called in my area wanted $95 per hour with a one hour minimum and $35 trip charge.

good keypad

I bought this item as a replacement for the identical item for my self-storage business. The original finally gave in to the outdoor elements and it was just time for a new one :-) And a great replacement it is! Thank You!

All that it should have been.

Replaced one run over by a car was easy to install and program

The AK-11 is a rugged keypad, that stands up to constant use for years. Programming is not too difficult, but near every functionality you would need is available. The only thing I wish were different is that the lighting was LED and not provided by a small incandescent bulb. We have 2, and have used them solely in our environment for at least a decade. One of ours, after good number of years, had the keys start to stick, and soon after the unit stopped working (The other one is still going strong!). Without hesitation, we replaced it with another AK-11. The price here on Amazon was good. The product came in perfect condition, genuine packaging, and operates as exceptionally well as we expected. We look forward to many years of use from this product.

As advertised!
