42 Pad Mount Gooseneck 2 Universal Heavy-Duty Steel Keypad Intercom

In this review the reviewer evaluates the 42 Pad Mount Gooseneck 2 from EAGLE ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS as a straightforward, heavy-duty solution for mounting keypads, card readers and intercoms at vehicle height. The bottom line: this pair of 42 in goosenecks is for installers and property owners who need a bolted, weather-resistant pedestal that keeps access controls within easy reach of drivers. Its strongest point is simple durability and a universal mounting plate that accepts a wide range of access control devices, making installation and future upgrades less fussy.

Key Features

• Universal mounting plate: The 5.125 in square bracket accepts most keypads, intercoms and card readers so devices can be swapped without modifying the pedestal.
• Driver-height gooseneck: A 42 in tall neck with a 12.5 in sweep positions readers within reach of vehicle windows for easier visitor interaction.
• Bolted pad mount: The 4 in x 4 in base is designed to be bolted to concrete pads for a secure, permanent installation that resists tipping and vandalism.
• Heavy-duty steel construction: Built from 1/8 in steel neck and a 0.400 in thick mounting plate for a rugged support that holds heavier access hardware.
• Weather-resistant finish: Powder coated black exterior helps protect the steel from the elements and keeps the installation looking professional outdoors.
• Value packaging: The package includes two identical 42 in gooseneck pedestals, useful for dual-lane drives or spare support without a separate purchase.

Who It's For

The 42 Pad Mount Gooseneck 2 is best for gate and access control contractors, property managers and homeowners who need a stable, vehicle-height mounting solution for access readers and intercoms. It appeals to anyone installing new gate electronics or replacing corroded or undersized posts with a heavy-duty, bolted option.

Those who should look elsewhere include people wanting a temporary or decorative post, or projects that require a shorter wall- or cabinet-mounted reader; this product is optimized for permanent, pad-bolted outdoor installations rather than quick temporary setups.

Pros & Cons

Pros
