    carded door locks
    « on: March 15, 2018, 12:04:38 PM »
    Trying to find a key card lock for a regular room door not one that uses rfid cause, seems like more of a hassle

    To install. If I can't find a key card lock ill just get the numeric one I seen at Wal-Mart from brinks

    You are making a broad assumption.
    RFID tags are good and cheap. A lot has taken place in the past few years.
    What have you found at Wall Mart?

      This is for your house?
      What do you need and what do you want?

      Ordinary houses use ordinary mechanical key locks which are very economical, easy to install and  have a fair level of security when installed correctly. The downside is that if you loose a key you may have to re-key all locks and issue new keys to everybody. That gets to be more expensive that the lock itself.

      For commercial users where a large number of people are going to use a building for a short time, some kind of disposable or reusable key is desirable. Also, other institutions may need reusable keys or a lock with a code entry. Like a jail or a warehouse or any place where there is a need to have a lot of keys that have to be renewed often. For example, the county fairground might switch over to  a form of electronic lock to allow frequent changes in of a large number of keys.

      RFID is becoming the choice for its flexibility. The key can be either a card or a key chain dongle, or both. The door lock is privy, but the keys are very cheap and can be programed by  an trustee who has no technical background.

      Expect to pay $100 and up for each RFID door lock. Amazon has a selection.

        High end door locks with multiple access modes, including RFID, are on Amazon for under $200. Whenever you have guests, you just program a RFID dongle or card  for them and after they leave change the code electronically. Or let tshem use the push bottoms on the lock.

        Over two million are in use.
        This device does not require use of a computer to reset it. The mechanical key can be used if the battery does down.
        Looks like a great product.  :)

            I'm well aware of who he is. The worst part is that after all this time  they are still barely literate at a grade school level.
