They were being used in Building in the 80s through the 90s there may be some still in use, but they would be out dated, this is one one many that would of replaced the one in the photos, it has a thumb reader as well

I'm aware that there was one used in the terminator 2 movie, they gather props for there movies wherever they can get them, & as cheaply as they can

I hope the original poster does some more posts, & says where he got the one he has from

I don't think he owns that prop. its likely in some collectors hands. people spend a lot of time replicating movie props, its an industry unto itself.

while ilm does "kitbash" many props from real world items, this one not based on a real keypad of any kind that I know of. its a hero item that would have been based on art department sketches. if you think it is a real keypad, show me some pictures of one that matches.

that aside, its absolutely not die cast as the back of it you can clearly see is machined out by hand on a manual mill.

That part you got right, the real one's had a button keypad, the mock up key pad & the card reader is not original, in the photo, the housing is the same as the original, if you take the mock key pad out of that case there will be a open rectangle hole right through to the back of the case
