Many times, something as simple as changing the code will solve your keypad issues. Try reprogramming your keypad code to something like “5941” that uses different numbers and nothing consecutive, so there is less chance of wearing out the buttons quickly. For instance, if your code is 2002, the “0” or “2” buttons could be worn out because each is pressed twice every time someone enters the code. Outside keypads get used a lot with busy families, so it’s not uncommon for some buttons to wear out. You could try using a different code that uses different numbers.

The outside keypad is essentially a garage door remote with a keypad. Yes, your outside keypad has a battery, and this is a surprise for many homeowners. The most common battery used in outside keypads is the 9V, but most Genie keypads will use the A23 barrel battery. Some universal keypads require a small Phillips screwdriver to remove a cover to access the battery. There is usually a removable cover to access the battery compartment. Most keypads are wireless and have a battery installed at the bottom. If your backlight is not coming on, then your battery most likely needs to be replaced. The backlight is what lights up the keys, so you can see them at night. The easiest way to tell if your battery needs replacement is if the backlight is not shining.
