ALEKO LM172 Wireless Keypad for ALEKO Brand Gate Openers

Working good. No instruction for roller door but my door manual had the setup to learn code. Quick delivery too

Its solid, easy yo program yo the gate opener

This thing is built very solidly and that may be its critical failure. The housing is all metal and feels very solid, but it only works when in very close proximity to the gate. I'm guessing all that metal attenuates the signal too much. I wanted to use this as a way of opening the gate from inside my driveway. I first mounted it to the frame of my garage door, 10 feet from the motor; no good. Then I thought I'd mount it right to the gate itself, which only works when the gate is in a position where the controller is right above the motor. The increase of space, 12 feet, is too great when the gate is closed. Oddly enough, the little key fob that came with the system has twice the range. Yes, I know I could have mounted a wired control switch, but just didn't want to dig the trench, install the conduit, and run the wire for something that should be able to be done wirelessly in this day and age! My last complaint, and it is a bit nit-noid, is that you have to push no less that eight buttons to enter a code...P/N...then 6 digit code...then OK. It won't let you choose a 4 digit code and I'm not sure why the P/N push is necessary. I guess I'll just carry that key fob around when I'm working in the driveway.

It worked perfectly with our Aleko GG1300. It has lit buttons when you press any button so its very convenient at night time. The new combination code has to be 6 digits, it wouldn't work with less than 6 digits. You need to press PIN then enter 6 digit code then press OK to operate the gate (wish it could be programmed with 4 digits only without pressing the PIN and OK buttons but no complaints about it)

The good points:It works perfectly after setting it up.The housing is sturdy metal.I don't have any bad points; it does exactly what it's supposed to do.If I was designing it; I would get rid of a couple digits required for the code.I would improve on the cheesy beeps when you press the buttons. It sounds like it's about to die on each key-press.

Unit is very nicely constructed , however,I have tried to contact this company with no results, how do you remove the black plastic back, I have almost or will destroy the unit trying to prize it off, I quit after getting paint chips and plastic pieces prying on the back. Email is no use and no Tec. department. My photo cell for the front gate the wiring is difficult when they will not reply, might blow the circuit board fuse or transformer, wiring shows a emitter and receiver and not a reflector type as purchased. wireless key pad, instructions are font #-1 almost unreadable.

I was in the process of installing the unit and found there was now code with it. I need the code for my unit. I can't get it to work without it.

Easy to install. Works well. Only thing I would like is a 4 digit code instead of 6.
