DoorKing Mounting Posts Manuals & Support

DoorKing mounting posts hold entry systems, keypads and card readers at the right height for vehicles or pedestrians. They pad mount, or use an in-ground adapter where there is no pad.

Heavy-duty posts come in offset style for vehicles and straight style for walk-up use. Designer posts have room for transformers, surge suppressors and a radio receiver.

Common questions
