Compatibilità key card per hotel: Saflok, Onity, VingCard, Salto

Most modern hotel guest cards are blank 13.56 MHz smart cards on the matching smart-card silicon that the property management system encodes at check-in, not pre-coded keys, so compatibility is about matching the chip your lock platform expects, not reproducing a guest's room key. VingCard and Saflok run on AES-upgradeable or AES-secured 13.56 MHz smart cards, Onity uses legacy 1K cards or plain memory tags, and Salto runs the AES-secured smart card, so you order compatible blank credentials on the right chip and let the front desk enrol them.

Perché le schede chiave degli hotel sono bianche, non chiavi pre-codificate

Una tessera chiave per ospite non è un supporto di accesso fisso come lo è un badge di prossimità per ufficio. Quando un ospite effettua il check-in, l'encoder della reception scrive i dati di quel soggiorno, il numero della stanza, la finestra di check-in e check-out valida e una sequenza di audit, nella memoria della tessera. La serratura legge quei dati offline e decide se aprire. Al check-out i dati semplicemente scadono, e la tessera viene cancellata e ricodificata per il prossimo ospite. Il sistema di gestione della proprietà e di chiusura possiede la logica di codifica; la tessera è solo memoria programmabile.

Questo cambia il significato di compatibilità. Non state acquistando chiavi di stanza pre-codificate e non state riproducendo il soggiorno di nessuno. State acquistando carte bianche compatibili sul tipo di chip che i vostri encoder e serrature si aspettano, in modo che il vostro sistema possa registrarle. Questo è il motivo per cui un hotel può riordinare migliaia di carte da un fornitore indipendente e usarle immediatamente: i bianchi si inseriscono nell'encoder esistente, e il sistema fa il resto. Forniamo bianchi compatibili con il chip di ogni piattaforma; le chiavi, e la sicurezza della vostra proprietà, rimangono nelle vostre mani.

Quale chip utilizza ogni piattaforma di serratura?

Nearly every current hotel platform sits on the 13.56 MHz smart-card family under ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, but the specific chip varies by brand and generation, and that is the spec you must match. Getting the chip family right is the difference between a card the encoder accepts and a coaster.

ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions (the VingCard line) ships modern locks on an AES-upgradeable 13.56 MHz guest card and on AES-secured 2K and 4K cards for higher-security and mobile-ready properties. Dormakaba Saflok and the related Confidant RFID locks also run 13.56 MHz smart cards on the matching smart-card silicon, most often the AES-secured card on current installs. Onity's HT and DirectKey RFID systems typically encode a legacy 1K card or a plain memory tag; older magstripe Onity locks are a separate, non-RFID story. Salto standardized on the AES-secured 13.56 MHz smart card for its electronic locks and wall readers. Among specialty brands, CISA hospitality locks use a legacy 1K card (the CT6 AERO/SMART line), Messerschmitt's HM1 system uses an ISO/IEC 15693 vicinity smart card, Häfele Dialock runs 13.56 MHz HF cards, MIWA spans both 125 kHz LF (EM4100 on PR-series locks) and 13.56 MHz HF smart cards on newer ALV2/LA hardware, and Hotek encodes a 3DES-authenticated memory tag. When in doubt, the encoder model and a single sample card tell you the exact chip.

  • VingCard / ASSA ABLOY: AES-upgradeable or AES-secured 13.56 MHz smart card
  • Dormakaba Saflok / Confidant: 13.56 MHz smart card, commonly the AES-secured card
  • Onity HT / DirectKey: 1K card or memory tag (13.56 MHz)
  • Salto: AES-secured 13.56 MHz smart card
  • CISA: 1K card (CT6 AERO/SMART)
  • Messerschmitt HM1: ISO/IEC 15693 vicinity smart card (13.56 MHz)
  • MIWA: EM4100 at 125 kHz (PR-series) or 13.56 MHz HF smart card (newer locks)

Disposable legacy blanks vs durable AES-secured blanks

Because the property re-encodes cards constantly, the right blank depends on how long the card lives in circulation. Disposable guest cards that are handed out and often not returned favor lower-cost chips, typically a 1K card or memory tag, where the print finish and minimum order quantity matter more than chip security. Many properties print these in branded runs and treat them as semi-consumable.

Durable cards that stay in service for years, staff and master cards, room cards on properties that recycle keys, and any platform that mandates a secured chip, favor a AES-upgradeable or AES-secured card with AES. These cost more per card but carry the encryption modern locks expect and survive thousands of read/write cycles. The decision is a procurement one: match the chip your locks require, then choose the durability and finish tier that fits your reuse rate and brand standard.

  • Disposable, high-volume, often not returned: 1K card or memory tag
  • Durable, recycled, or security-mandated: AES-upgradeable / AES-secured card (AES)
  • Specialty platforms: match the exact chip (ISO 15693 vicinity card, 3DES memory tag, EM4100)
  • Stampa personalizzata e custodie per schede chiave sono solitamente ordinate nella stessa tiratura

Come funziona la fornitura e il riordino all'ingrosso?

Le tessere alberghiere sono un bene di consumo ricorrente, quindi la logica di fornitura si basa sul riordino all'ingrosso piuttosto che sulla codifica una tantum. Voi confermate il chip utilizzato dalla vostra piattaforma (dal modello dell'encoder o da una tessera campione), scegliete la finitura della tessera, bianco neutro, stampata su misura o con la vostra grafica esistente, e ordinate in quantità di scatole. Le tessere arrivano neutre e i vostri encoder alla reception scrivono i dati di ogni soggiorno esattamente come prima. Non è prevista alcuna programmazione per tessera da parte del fornitore per le tessere neutre degli ospiti, il che mantiene veloci i riordini di grandi volumi.

For specialty or legacy locks, the chip is the gating detail. A MIWA PR-series lock needs a 125 kHz EM4100 card, while a newer MIWA reader needs a 13.56 MHz smart card; a Messerschmitt HM1 needs an ISO/IEC 15693 vicinity card specifically, not an ISO 14443-A card. Sending one current sample card with a reorder removes the guesswork, since the chip can be confirmed on receipt before a full run ships.

L'aspetto del costo rispetto alle tessere a marchio OEM

The chips themselves — the legacy 1K/4K card, memory tags, AES-upgradeable cards, AES-secured cards, and ISO 15693 vicinity cards — are the matching smart-card silicon available to any card manufacturer. An OEM-branded hotel card and a compatible blank on the same chip behave identically in your encoder, because the lock reads the chip and the data your own system wrote, not a brand printed on the plastic. That is why compatible blanks run at a fraction of OEM pricing while remaining fully functional in VingCard, Saflok, Onity, Salto and the specialty platforms.

The honest scope is worth stating. We supply compatible blank cards on the correct chip type; your property's own system enrols them with its keys, exactly as it would credentials ordered through the OEM channel, and on AES-secured platforms the security lives in your system's keys, which never leave your control. We are an independent supplier of compatible cards and are not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by ASSA ABLOY, dormakaba, Onity, Salto, or any other manufacturer. For a property standardizing its reorder, the move is to confirm the chip, request a quote on the matching compatible blank, and validate one sample on your encoder before committing to a bulk run.

Domande frequenti

Le tessere chiave dell'hotel sono pre-codificate o codificate al check-in?

Coded at check-in. Modern hotel guest cards are blank 13.56 MHz smart cards on the matching smart-card silicon; the front desk encoder writes the room, the valid date window, and an audit sequence onto the card at check-in, and the data expires at check-out. You buy compatible blanks on the right chip, and your own system does the encoding.

Quale chip usa VingCard o Saflok?

VingCard (ASSA ABLOY) guest cards are typically a AES-upgradeable or AES-secured 13.56 MHz smart card, depending on lock generation. Dormakaba Saflok locks also run 13.56 MHz smart cards, most often the AES-secured card on current installs. The encoder model and a sample card confirm the exact chip to order.

Posso ordinare tessere neutre generiche invece di quelle a marchio OEM?

Yes. The chips are the matching smart-card silicon, so a compatible blank on the same chip behaves identically in your encoder and locks at a fraction of OEM pricing. The lock reads the chip and the data your system writes, not a brand on the plastic. Validate one sample on your encoder before a bulk run.

Devo acquistare tessere usa e getta o durevoli?

Match it to reuse. Disposable, high-volume guest cards that often are not returned favor a lower-cost 1K card or memory tag. Durable cards that stay in service, staff, master, and recycled room cards, or platforms that mandate a secured chip, favor a AES-upgradeable or AES-secured card with AES, which survive thousands of cycles.

Potete fornire tessere di ricambio o di scorta per la mia proprietà?

Yes. We supply compatible blank cards on the correct chip type; your property's encoder enrols each stay's data, exactly as it would blanks ordered through the OEM channel. On AES-secured platforms the keys never leave your system, so your site security stays in your hands. We are an independent supplier, not affiliated with any lock manufacturer.

Cosa devo inviarvi per confermare la compatibilità per un riordino?

The encoder or lock model and, ideally, one current sample card. The chip is the gating detail: a MIWA PR-series lock needs a 125 kHz EM4100 card, a Messerschmitt HM1 needs an ISO/IEC 15693 vicinity card, and most VingCard, Saflok, Onity and Salto locks need a specific 13.56 MHz smart card. A sample lets us confirm the exact chip before a full run ships.
