Custom Hotel Key Cards Bring Added Safety

By Mayra Pierce


Have you ever wondered how safe your belongings are when you have booked into an inn and you have to leave your room for some previous booked engagements. Have you ever wondered how safe you will be in one of these rooms when you go to sleep? The latest invention, the Custom hotel key cards is something that will help put your mind at ease.

These can be operated either manually, by batteries of by electricity. The device that you will carry around with you though will only be a big a credit card and it will usually be made out of plastic. You will find that the back of this card will also look like a normal credit card.

On the back of this card, you will find instructions of how to use the card and you will find the magnetic strip. This card is also known as the stripes card. When you book into some hotels, you will report to the reception table in front. There they will get all the information needed and they will load it onto their system on their computers. They will then take a stripes card and the will swipe it through a machine. When they swipe the card the system will then automatically load the information onto the card.

After that, information has been loaded onto your card the information file will then be linked to a certain room number. This room number will belong to the room that you will stay in while you are staying at this inn. This room will have a very specific kind of lock at the entrance of the room.

You will also have to do a fingerprint when you check out of the inn. The reason for this is so that they can unlock your information and clear the details from the device. No one can gain access to the information on your device if they do not have your fingerprint.

Later years these devices were changed. Instead of the pre-programmed positions, I later worked with LED lights that would detect the holes. Again, it started to change later years. The devices then changed and started using a magnetic strip. These magnetic strips is also called or known as stripes. These devices work as follows. Some information will be programmed onto the magnetic strip.

The information on both the device and the lock sensor must be the same. If it does not match, it will not work. It sounds like the devices can be cloned very easy, but no one will be able to gain access to your information without your fingerprint as mentioned before.

If you are at the wrong room or if you were given the wrong card and the information does not correspond and is not the same on the card as well as the sensor the door will not open. If you are sure that the room number is right and that you swiped your card right and the door does not open, you should get someone to assist you. It really can be very easy to use.

No one will be able to enter your room without your key. For safety and security reasons, they also only give a limited number of devices per family. This is to ensure that other people cannot steal the devices and gain access to your room.
