Durable Metal Construction
Unlike basic plastic controls, this unit uses a metal cylinder and metal mounting plate for a durable exterior installation.
The compact design provides a clean, simple control point without requiring a large wall station or keypad.

Typical applications may include mounting near:

Workshops

Storage buildings
-
Other compatible operator access points
The mounting location should allow safe operation while keeping the moving garage door or gate fully visible.
Two Keys Included
The key switch includes two matching keys, giving the owner a primary key and a spare.
Additional key requirements or keyed-alike installations should be confirmed before ordering multiple switches.
