Ive been out of the business for a few years, so Ive forgotten how to do
this:

Wire the E/E door, using the 22/4 keypad wire.

Basically, the front door didnt get wired at the rough-in stage. Its
impossible to do now, and I dont want wireless. The keypad is right next to
the door in question. I seem to recall there is a way to wire them both
together on the one 4 conductor wire.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Depending on what system you use, there are makers who have keypads
with built in zone expanders (First Alert, Napco, DMP just to name a
few, I'm sure there are more). I can't think of a way to use 4
conductors for a 4 wire keypad AND a door contact. I've had to three
wire a motion before, but I'm not familiar with a door contact and a
keypad on one four couductor. The zone expander keypad would be a
better option if it's available to you

If it was a Napco Gemini system you could have
wired the door to the built-in 4-zone expander on
the RP1-CAe2 keypad.

Get rid of the front door keypad and use the wire for the door contact.

or more expensive;

Remove the front door keypad.
Install a 4219 zone expander in the wall, connect the keypad AND the zone
expander's buss wireds together, then run the front door off of one of the
expander's zones. Totally dumb that Ademco/Honeywell doesn't make a single
zone zone expander, but at least you'll have more zones there if you need
:-)
Install the keypad over the hole you made for the 4219 or bury the 4219
wherever you can.

The only way I can think of to do it (without running wire or adding
wireless) is to add 4219 (8 zone expansion module) to the keypad bus and
then add the front door (and what ever else you want) to the 4219 zones. You
could stuff the 4219 in the wall behind the keypad once you get the wire
from the door to the keypad.
