Pedestal Pro HOOD-CS-08X8 Push Button Hood or Card Reader Cover

Protect your outdoor access control installations with the Pedestal Pro HOOD-CS-08X8 push button hood or card reader cover. Built for security professionals, this rugged housing shields card readers and push buttons from weather, UV exposure and opportunistic tampering—minimizing service calls and preserving uptime for surveillance and monitoring systems. Constructed from heavy 16‑gauge steel and finished with a TGIC polyester black wrinkle powder coat that’s baked at 400°F, the HOOD-CS-08X8 resists corrosion and maintains appearance in harsh environments. The 3.0–3.5" overhang that tapers to a 1.75" sidewall cuts glare and helps protect readers from direct precipitation, while a centered 1.8" diameter access hole and multiple 0.25" knockouts simplify cabling and mounting on walls or pedestals. Available in standard 8" x 8" size, with optional widths, heights, colors and stainless or aluminum construction for higher security or coastal applications. Ideal for parking facilities, gated communities, and industrial sites integrating access control, surveillance or monitoring gear. Add the Pedestal Pro HOOD-CS-08X8 to your next installation for reliable, professional-grade protection.
