Keypad Access Control

Controlled entry. Without the key.

PIN-based access control for commercial doors, staff entrances, restricted areas and other controlled entry points across the Greater Toronto Area.

Professional Solution

Access by code, designed around the entrance.

Keypad access control allows authorized users to enter a PIN or access code at a controlled door.

Unlike card or fob systems, users do not necessarily need to carry a physical credential. This can make keypad access practical for selected entrances where code-based entry fits the property's requirements.

Understanding The System

What is keypad access?

Keypad access control uses a numeric keypad installed at or near a controlled entrance. Authorized users enter a designated PIN or access code to request entry.

This provides an alternative to traditional keys and can also be considered when cards or fobs are not the preferred access method.

A commercial property may choose keypad access for a staff entrance or restricted area while using card or fob access at another entrance.

The important consideration is choosing an access method that matches the way the entrance is actually used.

01 Keypad The interface where the user enters the required PIN or code.
02 Access Control System Handles the entered credential according to the system configuration.
03 Door & Hardware The keypad works as part of the physical entrance and its hardware.
04 Controlled Entry The system manages entry once the appropriate access conditions are met.
Applications

One access method. Many entrances.

Keypad access can be considered for different types of controlled entrances depending on how the property is used and who needs access.

01 Commercial Offices Controlled access for designated office entrances.
02 Staff Entrances PIN-based access for authorized staff.
03 Restricted Areas Access control for designated restricted spaces.
04 Retail Spaces Keypad access can be considered for selected entrances.
05 Commercial Buildings Part of broader access-control planning.
06 Multi-Unit Properties Different entrances can have different access requirements.
Why Keypad Access

Access without carrying a credential.

Keypad access can provide a straightforward option where PIN-based entry fits the property's access requirements.

01
No Physical Card or Fob Required Users can enter using a PIN or code rather than carrying a physical access credential.
02
Convenient for Selected Entrances Useful where controlled entry is required without issuing cards or fobs to every user.
03
Suitable for Restricted Areas PIN-based access can be considered where access needs to be limited.
04
Works With Commercial Doors Keypads can be considered with metal, aluminum, wooden or glass doors, subject to requirements.
05
Can Complement Other Access Methods Different entrances can use different access methods.
06
Simple User Interaction Entering a code provides a direct interaction with the access-control system.
Compare Access Methods

Keypad or card & fob? It depends on the entrance.

01 Keypad Access

Users enter a PIN or access code. Potentially suitable where code-based access is preferred.

02 Card & Fob Access

Users present an assigned card or fob to an access reader.

03 Which Is Better?

There is no universal answer. The choice depends on users, property, entrance, access requirements and existing systems.

04 Consider The Whole Property

Different entrances can use different access methods when their requirements differ.

Multiple Access Methods

One property doesn't always need one system.

A commercial property may have more than one type of controlled entrance. Different access methods can make sense when different entrances have different requirements.

Sheger provides multiple access-control options, allowing the access strategy to be considered across the property rather than focusing on a single entrance in isolation.

Keypad & Door Integration

The keypad is part of the entrance.

A complete controlled door may include the keypad, access-control system, door, hardware and additional entrance components. These elements need to work together as part of the finished installation.
