Genuine DoorKing 1812-074 Access Plus upgrade kit — upgrades an older 1812 Classic or 1812 Plus telephone entry system to a 1812 Access Plus, DoorKing's top 1812 version with the 1970-010 board: card reader and Wiegand device support, more relays and the full DKS account management software. The existing housing, keypad and wiring stay on the wall.
Which 1812 do you have? Read the board number: 1871-010 is a Classic, 1971-010 is a Plus, 1970-010 is already an Access Plus. To go only as far as Plus, the 1812-073 is the cheaper kit. If you already have an Access Plus and need the board alone, order the 1970-010.

Is the board actually the problem?
The board is the most over-ordered part on a telephone entry system. Work down this list before you buy:
| Symptom | Check first |
|---|---|
| Display dead, no backlight | The 16.5 VAC transformer and the low-voltage surge suppressor before the board |
| Will not dial out | The phone line, or the cellular / VoIP adapter feeding it, before the board |
| Dials but no audio either way | Speaker, microphone and the volume settings before the board |
| Keypad dead or intermittent keys | The keypad ribbon and the keypad itself before the board |
| Dead after a storm | The board — and fit the surge suppressors with the new one |
After fitting
Re-enter the directory and programming from the DKS software, enrol the card or Wiegand readers, set the relay times and re-test every relay output before leaving.
Fit surge protection when you fit the board. DoorKing makes a 1878-010 low-voltage surge suppressor for the 16.5 VAC side and a 1876-010 high-voltage suppressor for the line side. A board that died in a storm will die again without them.
