What a property orders

Three things, usually bought as one. They share an artwork file, a run and a delivery, which is one supplier instead of three.

Guest room keys

Encoded to the lock the property already runs, in your own artwork. PVC as standard, wood where the card is part of the welcome.

Staff and back of house

Housekeeping, maintenance and contractors on the same chip as the guest key. Fobs where the person already carries keys.

Everything printed around it

Sleeves, carriers, door hangers and signage, printed from the same artwork on the same order. They arrive together.

What a guest touches

Most properties buy the key from one supplier and the rest from three more. We make all of it from one artwork file.

Check in

The first ninety seconds of the stay, and the only piece the guest keeps in a pocket.

The lock decides the card

Given the lock model, we confirm the chip against it in writing. A card that does not open the door is the only failure that matters here.

What we confirm

Frequency and chip family, from the lock model or from the key the property issues today. A card posted to us is verified here.

Where the limits are

On encrypted systems we supply the correct chip, but a credential controlled by the system owner has to be written by whoever holds those keys.

What comes back

A written answer the same working day, and a free sample in the material and chip specified, so it can be tested in a real door before the order is placed.

All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

The reorder is the real order

The first order is a project. After that a property reorders two or three times a year, and the fourth batch has to read like the first.

01

The specification stays on file

Artwork, colour, chip and finish are held against the property, so a reorder is placed, not quoted again.

02

The same reader, the same read

Cards from a later batch behave at the door exactly like the first ones did. That is the point of holding it.

03

13 calendar days as standard

From artwork approval to dispatch, 8 on express and 12 on wood. Reorders go in before the drawer runs empty.

04

One order for the whole set

Keys, staff credentials, sleeves and door hangers on one purchase order. One supplier to chase, not three.

Questions we hear the most

Can an existing key be matched?

Usually. The card itself, sent with the lock model, is better still. A physical key settles in one go what photographs and descriptions leave open, and we verify it here rather than assume it.

Do you need the property to know its chip?

No, and most properties do not. The lock model is usually enough for us to work it out. Where it is not, we say so instead of guessing.

Can the keys arrive already encoded?

On open systems, yes, with a UID list delivered alongside the order. Where the keys belong to the lock system owner, we supply the correct chip and the credential is written by whoever holds them.

Can each property in the group have its own card?

Yes. Different artwork on the same chip and the same format, produced on one run and delivered separately, which is cheaper than treating each property as its own order.

Is a wood key practical, or just for show?

Practical, with one thing to check. Wood is contactless only and runs 1.20 to 1.30 mm against 0.76 mm in PVC, so the encoder slot is what decides it, not the read. Plenty of properties run both.

Do you make the sleeves and door hangers too?

Yes, in the same plant and from the same artwork file, so the sleeve fits the card that actually turns up and the printing matches.

How long does a reorder take?

13 calendar days as standard from artwork approval to dispatch, 8 on express and 12 on wood. On a reorder the artwork is already approved, so the clock starts sooner.

Can a sample be tested first?

Yes, free where the request is qualified, in the material and chip specified. Testing it in a real door is worth more than any specification sheet, including ours.

Start with a free sample.

A sample tested in a real door
Free, in the material and chip specified, so the property can try it on its own lock before the first order.
An answer the same working day
Every quote request is answered the same working day, in writing. Where something cannot be done, that answer comes back the same day too, with the reason.
The lock checked first
The lock model is confirmed against the frequency and chip family before anything is produced, and we say so when it cannot be.
