Beninca key selector switch — an Italian keyed wall control, most often specified alongside gate automation. It gives a fixed opening point next to the gate that does not depend on a battery, a phone, or whoever is holding the remote today.
Built around gate access, not just shutters
A key switch is a small part with a large access-control consequence. On a driveway or a shared yard, a remote gets duplicated, lent out and lost. A keyed wall unit changes the question from who has a remote to who has a key — which is a list you can actually keep.
- Sliding gate operators — the common Egyptian villa and yard setup
- Swing gate operators — single or double leaf
- Shared driveways and compounds — one key per authorised person
- Rolling shutters — where a fixed control point beats a handheld one
Access control is the real reason to buy
Remote fobs travel. A staff member leaves and the fob leaves with them, and nobody reissues codes. A metal key is harder to duplicate quietly than a fixed-code remote, and it is obvious when it is missing. That is why keyed units show up on gates that a lot of different people use.
A key switch works alongside your remote, not instead of it. Both wire into the same control board, so you can keep remote convenience and add keyed control for the gate itself.
Will it work with my control board?
| Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Signal type | Dry contact — the switch closes a circuit, it does not supply voltage |
| Connection | The command input on the control board, usually NO / COM |
| Deciding factor | Whether your board exposes a dry contact command input |
| Gate type | Sliding or swing — both are addressed the same way electrically |
| Confirmation | A photo of your terminal strip on WhatsApp |

Frequently asked questions
Is this only for Beninca gate operators?No. It sends a dry contact signal, so it works with most control boards that expose a dry contact command input, whatever the operator brand. Send a terminal photo to confirm.
Sliding gate or swing gate — does it matter?Not electrically. Both operator types take the same kind of command input. What matters is the board, not the gate leaf.
Can several people share one gate with keys?Yes, that is the usual reason for fitting one. Each authorised person carries a key, and access is a list you control rather than a pile of remotes in circulation.
Will it stop my remote from working?No. The key switch and the remote both connect to the same control board and operate independently.
How much does it cost?Price depends on the exact model in stock at the time of order. Ask on WhatsApp 01098470908.
How fast is delivery?Within hours in Cairo and Giza, and 3-5 working days to all other governorates in Egypt.
