Mighty MuleWireless Digital Keypad (FM137), Black, 25

The keypad on our gate failed. It was 16 years old and had been flawless until now. I was able to get this delivered the next day. Took me maybe 15 minutes to cut it out of the blister package, read the directions and install it in place of our old keypad. This one said Mighty Mule and our old keypad said GTO on the front. I found on the reviews that someone else had asked the same question of whether it would work the same. It worked perfect with our Mighty Mule 360 gate opener. I'm very happy with the quality of the keypad. It feels solid and the keys have just the right amount of spring to make it feel as though you've depressed it hard enough.

Excellent product. I mounted it near the driveway gate into the back of my home. It immediately connected to the Mighty Mule opener controller in my garage without me having to do anything other than mount the unit. It has operated flawlessly. Highly recommend it if you have a mighty Mule gate opener and want a remote opening device.

I have actually had to replace my wireless keypad three times over the 20 years that I have had a Mighty Mule on my gate.Finally, with this FM 137, they got rid of the stupid "arrows" key in the bottom RH corner that I guess is an enter key? If they intended a button that has 4 arrows going off in different directions to mean "enter" why didn't they just have the word "enter" on the key? And yet, you had to press that button after punching in the code and I had to explain to everyone 'press the arrows key after you enter the code.'Now, FINALLY, and thankfully, I do not have to explain that anymore. You just press the code and the magic happens which is the way it should have been all along.

I purchased this keypad several years ago and never ended up using it. I purchased a new gate opener beginning of June 2020 (MM517W) and decided to replace my older weathered keypad, that was the same model just an older FM137 with the new unopened one. I never had any problems with the old keypad.I attempted to install the keypad today. The instructions for the new keypad are the exact same ones located on the mighty mule website. The problem is that the instructions are not compatible with the newest model gate openers (MM271/371/571, etc.), this is mentioned in many of the most recent reviews for the keypad. Some of the reviewers mentioned they contacted tech support and got instructions but then didn't include the instructions in the review. So here they are:***Change the master code, you can follow the instructions for the keypad to do this (not actually required to program the keypad to the gate opener but you might as well do it now)***1. On the control board press the orange button labeled S3, it is the middle one, on my control board the return symbol is above it. The control board will beep.2. Then using the keypad enter the master code and hold the last digit until the control board beeps. Then release the last digit.3. Before attempting to use the keypad, wait until the keypad beeps three times, this can take up to 40 seconds. Once the keypad beeps three times, test the keypad by entering the master code, the gate should open.This procedure worked for me and is what I was told to do by tech support.

This is the third set of two of these keypads I have bought. On average I get 3-5 years out of these before the plastic cracks or moisture causes odd issues. They are built okay for their price point and are likely built more for residential use.I use them for entry to a mini storage business that I maintain so they see light commercial traffic use, probably a little more frequent than their design parameters. I have them shielded from rain with a small metal hood/ brow to help keep water out and mounted on posts. These work great for what they are but I would upgrade to a slightly better quality if Mighty Mule offered them.These are straight-forward to program following the instructions but again I have used these several times before. I programmed 30 plus codes into mine including emergency access codes. Temporary codes can be added/ removed if desired for repair/ service access. The instructions need to be updated as the most recent gate openers require you to pair it from the opener control box instead of the keypad. ( but you need both to do so)Overall not a bad product with many features available for many uses. It has held up to light commercial use with a limited lifespan.

This is really a good solution to other folks needing access to gated property. The instructions with this unit advise not to extend the distance between this keypad and the operator to more than 50 feet. Just for curiosity, I tried my unit at 150 feet and it functioned flawlessly. This is a great addition in which you won't be disappointed with the results. Be sure and follow the instructions to a tee.

Lightening fast shipping, great communication, perfect description, great product, easy to use!
