About this item
The Alarm Controls KP-200 is a flush-mount digital keypad built to take abuse and weather that would destroy an ordinary keypad. It's a standalone access control keypad: users enter a PIN to release a door or gate, with no separate controller needed, and it's programmed right at the keypad itself. The combination that defines it is rugged construction plus weatherproofing, a heavy die-cast housing with a brushed 402 stainless steel faceplate and backlit metal keys, so it stands up to exterior mounting, high-traffic entries, and the kind of locations where a plastic keypad gets vandalized or rained on and quits. Pair it with a maglock or electric strike and you have a keyless entry that holds up where it's hardest to keep hardware working.
Why the KP-200 is built for tough locations
Most digital keypads are fine indoors and fragile everywhere else. The KP-200 is the opposite. The die-cast metal housing and stainless faceplate resist tampering and physical attack, the metal keys are backlit so they're usable in the dark and don't wear blank like printed plastic buttons, and the unit is waterproof for exterior gates and entries. A built-in tamper switch signals if someone tries to pry or open it. For a perimeter gate, a parking structure, a loading dock, or any door where the keypad is exposed to weather or rough use, that ruggedness is the entire reason to choose it over a standard indoor unit.
What the KP-200 controls and how it programs
The KP-200 is genuinely capable of a standalone keypad. It runs two independent outputs: Output 1 supports up to 100 multi-user codes and a 5 amp SPDT relay, and Output 2 supports 10 multi-user codes through an NPN transistor output. Code length is flexible from 4 to 8 digits. That means one keypad can control two separate functions, for example releasing a maglock on one output and triggering an auxiliary device on the other. A request-to-exit input with a relay timer adjustable from 1 to 999 seconds handles the egress side, and red, yellow, and green LEDs show the keypad's status at a glance. Everything programs from the keypad itself, so there's no software or separate controller to set up.

Why choose the Alarm Controls KP-200
For a keypad that lives outdoors or in a high-abuse spot, the real decision is ruggedness, and the KP-200 is built around it. The metal housing, stainless faceplate, and backlit metal keys are what let it survive where a consumer-grade keypad fails fast, and the two-output, 100-code capacity gives it enough capability for real access control rather than just a single-door PIN pad. It's a natural match for a weatherproof maglock on a gate, where you want both the lock and the keypad rated for the same harsh environment.
Two things to confirm before ordering: the KP-200 is a flush-mount unit for a single-gang box, so plan the mounting location, and like any standalone keypad it controls a lock you supply separately, so pair it with the right maglock or strike for your door or gate.
