Traditional locking systems are slowly becoming a thing of the past, giving way to modern and convenient magnetic locks. The key to them are plastic cards with a chip or magnetic stripe. The main advantage of key cards is the ease of use - a couple of seconds and the door is open. And it is much more convenient to carry such cards with you than a bunch of bulky iron keys.

What is the card key for?
Most often, magnetic key cards are made for hotel rooms. For this, a special reader is installed in the door leading to the room. There are two types of readers - for plastic cards with a magnetic stripe or keys with a chip. In the first case, the card must be inserted into the device, in the second - just attach the key to the reader. As soon as the information is read, the door opens. This usually takes a few seconds.

In addition to the main function of the key, such plastic cards effectively fulfill an advertising role. On the front side of the plastic, you can place the name, logo of the hotel, the telephone number of the reception and other data.

Hotel card key
The use of magnetic key cards is not limited to the hospitality industry. Many businesses have switched to similar locking systems due to their safety and functionality. Plastic key cards record all information about the access of a particular user to an office, warehouse or any other room. In addition, with the help of a magnetic lock, you can easily track the movement of personnel across the territory of the enterprise, as well as record the time of arrival at the workplace.

Key card for employees
On work passes, it is possible to apply personal data of employees. This can be either text information (position, date of birth) or a photograph. This approach enhances the security of the company and limits access to unauthorized people.

Regardless of the scope of use, plastic cards are a convenient, modern and functional solution. They open up a whole range of additional opportunities for both business leaders and their clients.
