Yep, that's what I was talking about...but not nearly as vocal (Shall we play a game?)
But I just had another thought or eight...
You could keep all the code you've got and just add an extra couple of flags so you could go thru the loop an extra time or two. If you go thru the loop once and get the 1st half of the back door (12345), you set the flag. Then the next number is a 6. Since the flag is set, you start looking for the 2nd half of the back door, etc.etc.etc. Or just write a whole seperate block of code to handle it.
Or maybe even have another 5 digit code that has to be set while the gate is open. Then the gate stays open while you change the code. That way if you screw it up, at least the gate is open. Or maybe during that time, you forget about the keypad read code and manually scan the keypad for a multiple keypress (say 1-2-3-4 all at the same time)....
Lots of options...
