Perfect replacement

My old linear keyboard has stopped working and I couldn't find where to get replacement parts. I gave up and got it and replaced the whole unit. My gate is now back in business. They are easy to program, have solid construction, have good tactile feedback, and are backlit at night.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Not the best

Great unit. I'm so glad I made my decision.

Excellent unit. I'm so glad I decided to spend the extra money and get this compared to the rubbish I was considering. This thing is tough and one can only say that it is well made. Works great and well designed. The buttons beep when pressed and are backlit for you to see in the dark. good device.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • too blunt

SORRY, PRODUCT AND SERVICE

Purchased on March 11, 2018. It no longer works. The product says there is a 24 month guarantee. Called linear to inquire about sending it back for a replacement. Linear SAYS I need to deal with Revain as I ordered through them. When I go through the return process for a Revain item it says it CANNOT be returned. SO MUCH for 24 months warranty. CANNOT speak to a Revain Customer Service Representative because THEY DO NOT DISPLAY A HELP PHONE NUMBER. VERY annoying AMAZON. We buy a good beat from…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Quality

Durable *EDIT* Didn't last a year!

I just replaced my first one which was over ten years old with this new one. They are exactly the same. They're a little difficult to program, but if you just take your time you'll be fine. look at it Inside, the new 20 year old looks older than the 10 year old I took off when I replaced it. I followed the directions to the tee and there was already one so I know I didn't set it up wrong. It's fried. Firstly, it never got wet inside and it was installed exactly like that. Just be careful.

Pros
  • Many will do
Cons
  • Not bad but...

The second one works - Accessories

The first one I got didn't work properly. Upon exiting programming mode, the LED did not turn red, indicating it was ready to accept my key code. Instead, the display turned green, indicating it was receiving input. I sent it back to Revain in exchange for another new one and this one worked as it should. When Revain replaced the broken keyboard, it didn't cost me anything. When ordering electronic devices, remember that they do not always work properly, even when they are new. While you can…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Updates

Many years later

The AK-11 is a durable keyboard that will stand up to years of constant use. Programming isn't too difficult, but almost all the features you need are available. The only thing I would change is that the lighting is LED instead of a small incandescent bulb. We have 2 and have been using them exclusively in our local area for at least a decade. One of us started sticking keys after many years and soon the device stopped working (the other one still works!). Without hesitation, we replaced it…

Pros
  • Programmable interior light
Cons
  • Out of fashion

UPDATE (06/08/2017) It's been over a year and the keyboard has weathered a whole wet Northern California winter. It still works fine. The only design change I'll be making is replacing the useless keyboard backlight with an LED. The standard lighting is very poor even in the darkest light. I love well built products.======================================== = === ==========Housing, lock and key made of powder-coated die-cast aluminium. Looks really strong. I will update for durability. My last…

Pros
  • Durable die-cast aluminum suitable for outdoor use
Cons
  • Flimsy

15 years of reliable performance

This will be my second keyboard of the exact same type that I have used in my own shop which serves over 150 customers. So it has received many benefits over the years. It's well made, but a customer with a very long trailer accidentally hit it, so I'll have to buy another one. Programming isn't that bad, but it takes a lot of keystrokes to program a code. Try to do 150! But the instructions are easy to follow and you shouldn't have any problems. It takes me about an hour to program all 150…

Pros
  • Autonomous keyless entry is ideal for hospitals, airports, office buildings and other commercial applications.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
