Gemini Posted May 21, 2016 Author Posted May 21, 2016 I am curious to know what it is because it is rare to see this sort of technology used in public. Quote

Uninterestingly I know the type you mean I have seen them in other Halifax branches. The ones I have seen in the branches years ago have since been replaced for Prox. It's 12 buttons in a circle, square about as wide as a 9500 keypad and I assumed you remember the number using positions on a clock? Absolutely no idea on make model etc. Quote
Gemini Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 Hi, I don't know who makes the 9500 keypad. I think the code may be remembered numerically, and then the user remembers it sub-consciously or by muscle memory. The segment spacing looked too tight to be representative of a clock face. Quote
datadiffusion Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I think I can guess who it was - the same people who made the one I took out of an old BaE systems place a few years back I suspect. I posted about it at the time, and was amazed to find the company apparently still trading with a very 1990s looking website. Their products also seemed to be rebadged by Chubb at one time, and the website had the same ones I remember from banks back then including the 5 digit ones that were like 5 typewriter keys in a row, no numbers, in a folded metal case to hide your finger movements. Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
