Exterior wireless keypads are one of the most useful upgrades a household can make. PIN-code access lets kids in after school without carrying a remote, gives the dog walker entry without sharing the house key, lets contractors in for scheduled work, and offers a backup entry path when remotes are lost or the car key is locked inside. Our keypad install is a one-visit, 30-minute service: mount, pair, program PINs, and verify range.
We install keypads from the same brand as your opener (matched paired security with rolling code). LiftMaster 877MAX and 878MAX, Genie GK-R and GK-BX, Chamberlain KLIK3U, and others. Each supports a primary PIN plus up to 7 temporary or secondary codes — useful for assigning different codes to different family members or service providers. Temporary codes can be deleted as needed.
Mounting location matters locally — direct full-sun exposure hardens the rubber keypad over years. We recommend mounting under eaves where possible, or specifying UV-rated keypads when the location must be in full sun. Battery life is typically 12–18 months depending on use frequency; replacement batteries are a quick DIY swap.
Signs you need garage door keypad installation
Kids come home alone after school
PIN code beats hiding a key. Easy to memorize, no physical key to lose.
Frequent service providers (cleaners, walkers, contractors)
Temporary PIN codes assigned to each provider — and deleted when service ends — beats sharing a house key.
Manual-to-automatic conversion, opener upgrades, and tune-ups.
Lost remote
Keypad provides backup access while a replacement remote is being ordered.
Existing keypad broken
Cracked, missing buttons, or non-responsive — replacement is faster and cheaper than diagnostic on consumer-grade keypads.
Want backup entry method
Locking yourself out of your own car or having a remote battery die at the wrong moment both happen. Keypad is your backup.
Common causes & what we fix
UV degradation of original keypad
Direct-sun keypads see button hardening, cracking, and PIN-fade over 5–8 years. Replacement with UV-rated keypad lasts longer.
Battery exhaustion
Most failures are just a flat battery. $5 in CR123 or 9V batteries restores function. We check batteries first during a service call.
Wiring corrosion
Older wired keypads suffer corrosion at terminal connections. Wireless keypad swap eliminates the wired connection.
Brand mismatch
Generic keypads sometimes don't pair reliably with branded openers. Brand-matched keypads work first time, every time.
Vandalism or impact damage
Cracked keypads from impact or vandalism. Replacement is straightforward.
