The Alarm Lock PG30KPD Pilfergard External Digital Keypad is a commercial-grade remote control accessory designed exclusively for use with the Alarm Lock PG30 Series Door Alarm. This low-profile keypad provides convenient operation of the PG30 alarm system from the opposite side of the protected door, allowing authorized personnel to arm, disarm, and control alarm functions using programmed security codes.

Featuring a brushed aluminum wall plate, compact digital keypad, hardwired ribbon cable connection, and single-gang mounting design, the PG30KPD provides a practical solution for commercial facilities requiring controlled alarm operation from both sides of an opening.

When connected to a compatible PG30 Pilfergard alarm, the external keypad supports the system's existing programmed access codes and security levels. Authorized personnel can operate the PG30 without accessing the main alarm housing.

The PG30KPD is particularly useful for commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, warehouses, and service entrances where personnel need to enter a monitored area without triggering an unauthorized door alarm.

Designed for indoor installations, the metallic silver / brushed aluminum finish complements commercial aluminum doors, frames, and other architectural hardware.

Product Specifications

How the Alarm Lock PG30KPD Works

2. Authorized Code Entry

A user enters an authorized security code on the keypad located on the opposite side of the protected door.

3. Alarm Control

The connected PG30 processes the code and performs the applicable function, including arming, disarming, or another authorized operation.

4. Door Monitoring
