Dear Customer,
Regarding: Storm 720BLK & SF6000 Keypads.
As a pro-active vendor Storm Interface is giving notice to our customers of a product ‘end of life’ discontinuation.
The affected products are the 720BLK, SF6000 (with black keys) & SF6000 mounting plate as indicated by the part numbers below.
7202-XX 720BLK, 4 key, 12 key & 16 key
8616-21XX SF6000 Series keypad with black keys
8600-MK00X Under panel mounting plate for SF6000 Series keypads
Please note: An X in the part number represents any character or additional sequence of characters.
Customers who have previously purchased the above mentioned part numbers might wish to consider the following replacements:
- 7202-XX: All other 720 Series keypads are exactly the same size and fit as the 720BLK. They can be found online at https://shop.storm-interface.com/ixp/keypads/720-series.html
- 8616-21XX: The other two SF6000 Series keypads are the same size as the 8616-21XX and the version with metal keys has the same connectors. They can be found online at https://shop.storm-interface.com/ixp/keypads/sf6000-series.html
- 8600-MK00X: Customers needing to install the SF6000 Series keypads are asked to contact Storm for details.
Based on our current component levels/demand, we expect to cease manufacture of these keypads by December of 2026. Any customer wishing to place a ‘last time buy’ is therefore encouraged to act quickly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this discontinuation causes.
Please note: no other Storm products or part numbers are affected by this discontinuation.
Yours sincerely,
Storm Interface
