Our MAGNETIC Hotel Key Cards offer secure and efficient access solutions for your hotel. To provide an accurate quote, we require confirmation of the coercivity/degree of magnetization needed. Check with your lock manufacturer for this information. Once received, we'll send you pricing details and tester keys for MidCo or HiCo key cards. While both MidCo and HiCo cards appear similar, they offer enhanced protection against demagnetization compared to LoCo magnetic key cards, which are the most common type.

Introducing our Custom Printed Magnetic Hotel Key Cards, designed to provide secure and efficient access solutions for your hotel guests. Our magnetic key cards offer seamless integration with your existing lock systems, ensuring smooth and hassle-free entry for your valued guests.

To ensure the utmost accuracy and compatibility with your lock manufacturer's specifications, we require confirmation of the coercivity or degree of magnetization needed for your key cards. Once we receive this information, we'll provide you with detailed pricing and tester keys for MidCo or HiCo key cards.

MidCo and HiCo magnetic key cards offer superior protection against demagnetization compared to LoCo cards, making them ideal for long-term use in high-traffic environments. While both MidCo and HiCo cards may appear similar, they boast enhanced durability and reliability, ensuring consistent performance with every use.

Our magnetic hotel key cards feature a distinct dark strip of magnetic material, typically located on the back of the card. This magnetic strip is essential for seamless interaction with point-of-sale (POS) systems and access control systems, serving dual purposes as key cards and ID cards for your guests.

With our custom printed magnetic hotel key cards, you can elevate the guest experience while enhancing security measures within your establishment. Ensure easy and secure access for your guests while streamlining operational efficiency with our premium magnetic key card solutions.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. What size keys do you offer?
CR-80/credit card size (86mmx54mm by 0.76 mm thick); this is the most common.
CR-50 (28.5mmx 54mm by 0.76 mm thick)

4. 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.
We can do RFID Keys. In the meantime, if you need more magnetic keys, you can learn more about our magnetic key options here.

5. 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.

6. 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.
