Keycard
Problem: Magnetic Keycards quit working.
While several issues can cause a card to stop working –
card expires, card is canceled, card not valid for the
lock, etc – a common problem on some properties is
that the keycard is erased. This is caused by a magnet
coming in contact with or close to the magnetic stripe
of the keycard. Below are a few things to watch for:
•
Magnetic ‘Do Not Disturb’ signs. If your
property uses these types of signs, be careful not
to let the keycard come near the magnet.
•
Magnetic Name Tags. If your staff uses
magnetic name tags, it is important to keep the
keycard away from the name tag. Remember,
the keycard only has to come near the magnet to
be erased or damaged.
•
Metal Key Boxes. Some properties keep the
Staff Cards in a metal box and only distribute
them during the day as they are needed. In this
case, make sure no magnets are placed on this
box, as they may damage the magnetic encoding
of the card.
•
Magnetic screwdrivers. Many engineers carry
magnetic screwdrivers. If these come in contact
with the keycard, it will be erased.
These are only a few examples of issues you may have
with your keycards. If you are having this issue, look
for these types of things to find the problem.
Problem: My Magnetic keycard is worn and
scratched.
When the keycards become worn and scratched, it is
time to discard them and replace with a new keycard.
The life of a keycard depends on use and care. To
extend the life, do not put the card on a key ring with
