Confirm the type of magnetic stripe on your magnetic key card for your magnetic locks

In order to provide you with a quote, we will need to confirm the coercivity / degree of magnetization of the magnetic key cards you will need.  You can check with your lock manufacturer if uncertain. After you provide us with that information we can send pricing information to you and tester keys if you use MedCo or HiCo key cards. Both of these magnetic key cards look similar, but offer more protection from demagnetizing than the LoCo magnetic key cards. LoCo key cards are the most common type of magnetic key cards.

Hotel Access Magnetic Key Cards

If your property has access points at different locations or you want to keep better track of your hotel towels, these are a great option! They can include magnetization if needed for the access points, or can be left without the black stripe on the back if they will only be exchanged for a towel card or other item.

Hotel Gift Cards

Some properties use gift cards for their hotel or for their on-site dining options or both. This will require confirming additional technical information for the use of the giftcards but is typically a quick process. You can also choose a less expensive option if you don’t need to track the balance on the gift card.

Magnetic Hotel Key Card FAQ

My keys get demagnetized easily. Can I just order a MidCo or HiCo key?

No. Card readers and card encoders need to match the end product they are working with. The “degree of magnetization” refers to the strength of the magnet and the amount of information that needs to go on it to open the door. Your lock vendor can often make the adjustment, so you can then encode with the better magnetic stripe on the room key. Some charge an extra fee, other lock vendors do not. This is one way to improve card demagnetizing.

My keys don’t encode sometimes. What should I do?

Clean your locks and your encoders weekly with lock cleaners. You can order them directly here. This removes dust, pocket lint and other elements that reduce the ability of the card to “talk” to the lock.

What is the estimate life of a magnetic stripe both in time and / or uses? Would a LoCo have a shorter life than HiCo (just the magnetic stripe itself, not the encoding portion).

The shelf life is about 3 years and generally a few thousand uses.  Uses as in, erasing, encoding, swiping etc. The LoCo magnetic stripe does erases easier than a HiCo magnetic stripe, relatively speaking, the LoCo wouldn’t last as long as a HiCo, as it is much hard to erase info.

What size keys do you offer?

CR-80/credit card size (3 ⅜” by 2 ⅛” by 30 mm thick); this is the most common.

CR-50 (1 ¾” by 3 ½” by 30 mm thick)

I am thinking about switching from magnetic to RFID locks. Do you install them?

No, we don’t do installations but we can introduce you to our preferred lock vendor who offers a good combination of technology, price, service, and experience. In the meantime, if you need more magnetic keys, you can learn more about our magnetic key options here.

Our hotel keeps track of guests using sequential numbers and we add the guest name. Are you able to do this?

Of course! Just let us know which of those you might need. We will use a slightly different print process for the overprinting of guest’s names, while we there is a separate Department that manages sequential numbers.
