LiftMaster KPW5 5-Code Wireless Keypad for Security+ 2.0 Gate and Door Operators
The LiftMaster KPW5 is designed for simple wireless PIN-code access on compatible LiftMaster Security+ 2.0 access systems. It gives a gate or door user keypad entry without running control wiring from the keypad location back to the operator, which is useful on driveways, small commercial entries, service gates, and solar gate installations where wired keypad installation may be inconvenient.
This model is best suited for smaller user groups because it supports up to five codes. For larger facilities, tenant entrances, maintenance yards, or sites requiring many individual user PINs, the KPW250 or a wired access controller may be a better fit.

Technician Note
Match this part to the original label, model number, control or mechanical layout, and parts diagram before ordering. Similar LiftMaster parts can look alike but differ by voltage, frequency, receiver technology, motor configuration, enclosure style, connector layout, or operator generation. For keypad and access-control parts, confirm receiver technology, user capacity, credential type, wiring method, and power requirements before installation.
Before Ordering, Confirm
- Original part number or related part number matches the product being replaced
- Equipment model and generation match the compatible application
- Connector layout, mounting style, voltage, frequency, radio technology, or motor specification matches the original part
- Existing system problem has been diagnosed and is not being caused by wiring, power, mechanical binding, or a failed accessory

Professional Advisory
Installation and troubleshooting should be performed with power disconnected where applicable and with the gate or door secured against movement. Do not bypass monitored safety devices, limit circuits, access-control wiring, or required entrapment protection to make a replacement part operate. For high-voltage wiring, motor replacement, access-control wiring, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate or commercial door technician.
