Elite Control PW KEYPAD-XK1 – Built Tough for Smarter Gate Access
At Sesame Gate Automation, we recommend equipment that delivers results. The Elite Control PW KEYPAD-XK1 stands out as one of the most reliable keypads for gate access control. With solid construction, easy installation, and excellent performance, it’s the perfect match for homes and businesses across Auckland.
The durable aluminium body handles any weather. Unlike plastic units, this keypad has a tough, professional look and feel. Because it’s made from aluminium, it easily resists UV rays, rain, and accidental bumps. Whether you install it on a sunny fence post or a wet stone pillar, it keeps doing its job. Over time, you’ll notice it holds up far better than cheaper models.
Another standout feature is the sealed control board. Why does that matter? Because internal electronics are sensitive to dust and moisture. Thanks to the sealed design, the XK1 keeps out the elements. As a result, it performs reliably year-round, even in Auckland’s changing climate. Therefore, you won’t be stuck dealing with failures caused by corrosion or water ingress.
In terms of control options, this keypad does more than most. It offers two relays, giving you the power to manage multiple devices. For example, you can open your front gate with one code and your garage with the other. Alternatively, use one channel for a vehicle gate and the second for a pedestrian side gate. This flexibility is a huge plus for busy households or properties with more than one entry point.
Installation is simple thanks to the wide voltage range. The XK1 accepts 12-28volts AC/DC. In other words, it works with almost every gate or door system out there. You won’t need special transformers or complex wiring changes. So whether you’re adding it to an older gate motor or setting it up on a new build, it connects easily and works straight away.
Day-to-day use is also a breeze. The keypad operates quietly, with a smooth and responsive relay click. Its backlit buttons glow gently, making nighttime access simple and frustration-free. Plus, the keys are well spaced and easy to press, even for kids or older users. In short, it just works — without drama, delays, or confusion.
Using a code instead of a remote brings huge convenience. You no longer need to search for remotes or worry about replacing batteries. Just walk up, enter your code, and go. Furthermore, you can create custom codes for family members, guests, or tenants. When someone no longer needs access, you simply remove their code. No locksmiths, no hardware changes — just a few simple button presses.
The compact design fits into any space, yet it still offers a clean, modern appearance. Whether mounted on a wall, post, or gate column, it adds a professional finish. We’ve installed this keypad across Auckland — from family homes in suburbs to light commercial properties — and it always impresses both in looks and function.
Most importantly, when you choose Sesame Gate Automation, you get expert service. We don’t just drop off hardware and leave. Instead, we take care of the wiring, programming, and setup.
