I still have 2 800's out there that are limping along...the owners are
almost out of alternative keypad digit choices.

I've been using Napco for about 30 years. Sometimes keypads don't last
as long as others. I find that when repetitive numbers are used they
wear out sooner. If you think about it ..... all you really have to do
is pick four new numbers or just change the "bad" number in your code
and you'll be ok. Rather than buying a new keypad.
