I want a single door flat style two gang box cover. Anyone know of such a thing? All I can find are bubbles or two flaps

I think most of the covers are integrated with the outdoor boxes. And, I think there was a code change a couple years ago that stated the outdoor-rated line voltage box cover has to have a 'bubble' or 'while in use' cover to accommodate plugs. The 2008 NEC® Article 406.8 (B)(1) requires all 15- and 20-ampere, 125- and 250-volt receptacles installed outdoors in wet locations to be installed in enclosures that are weatherproof with or without a plug inserted. Any chance you can replace the box? Chisel might be useful, if in brick or concrete. Box and flat cover 2-gang from Arlington [Link: amazon.com]That one is recessed.

Now that I have had more time tonight to look into this product, it's very large. It's over 7" wide and high. I ordered one to see it in my hands, but would rather find something closer to a two gang size

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Which KP? Can you replace the box? Is it in brick or concrete?

The one from Arlington that ericspencer linked works well, but be sure you get the right one. They have different models for new construcion, stucco, vinyl siding and retrofit cut-in.
They're still kind of big, but look better than the generic keypad enclosure. Most importantly, they're already setup for 2-gang installation, so you 2-gang keypad will screw right in.
Be sure to check depth. They may not fit in a 2x4 wall? I've used a few times, but always in 2x6 and they seem deep...
