Supplies for Key Cards

Locate all the supplies for key cards your business needs

Supplies of key cards are the items required to program the cards, unlock doors and protect the actual key cards. Key card manufacturers design the magnetic strips on the cards to be used in many different systems. This allows each company to choose the most cost effective key cards for their business. All companies using key cards need supplies for their key cards to work properly.

Supplies for key cards include locks, encoders and key card sleeves. Key card locks are often mounted on the side of a door or on the door handle itself. The type of lock needed depends on the type of door used. Key card encoders are systems that code the cards for use. Sleeves are commonly used in hotels to write down the customer's room number. Sleeves can also be used to protect the card from scratches or wear and tear.
