How the compatible Hotek HTK Classic (1K contactless smart card) works
The Hotek HTK Classic (1K contactless smart card) is a 13.56 MHz high-frequency contactless credential read over the ISO/IEC 14443 air interface. Its data structure is Hotek Classic lock encoding on a 1K contactless smart card. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.
We build the compatible Hotek HTK Classic (1K contactless smart card) by encoding the matching data structure onto a programmable 1K contactless smart card chip. Once written, the credential presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number your reader already accepts. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered for the exact format your system expects.
To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Hotek Hospitality Group card, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.
