Difference between Magnetic Key Card Door Lock and RFID Hotel Door Lock

Magnetic Key Card Door Lock System

Magnetic key card technology came onto the scene in the 1970s and represented a giant leap forward in lock technology. Like a credit card, this thin, plastic keycard has a magnetic stripe that is encoded to work with a specific guestroom lock. When the magnetic key card is swiped in the magstripe reader on the correct guestroom door, it is unlocked for a set interval, usually several seconds. Like other electronic hotel locks, the magstripe reader has a battery power supply and typically last between 12-18 months before batteries need replacement. 

Access control magnetic door locks have been around for years because these locks are user-friendly and an inexpensive option. Utilizing the same basic technology as credit cards, this style of hotel room door lock uses two components:

Magnetic key card: The key card uses a magnetic stripe that contains information that grants access to a particular hotel room door lock. Typically, this information is pretty basic, including a user access number, dates of approved access, and room number—which is programmed by the hotel upon arrival

Door card reader:When the hotel guest inserts or swipes the magnetic key card into their key slot, it quickly sends its unique card information to the hotel’s card reader, verifies that the user information matches the user who has authorized access to the room and communicates with the lock to grant access.

disadvantages:The magnetic strip is prone to wear and damage, as is the card reader.Demagnetization is a frequent problem. If a guest places a magnetic key card next to something with an electromagnetic field (like a smartphone or TV), the encoding can be degraded causing malfunction (and a trip to the front desk for a replacement). Lock operation can also be affected by dirt and dust accumulation in the card reader slot. Magstripe cards are rarely reused by hotels, creating an avoidable recurring expense and ecological concerns around their disposal.

It’s easy to lose, making security more vulnerable.

Inexpensive devices can easily hack these cards affecting security

Pros: Magstripe keycards can be single-use at their price point, and it has been the industry standard locking system for decades. Chances are your guests are very familiar with this option. 

RFID Hotel Door Lock System

RFID hotel door locks offer hotels and guests more options than traditional magnetic key card door locks. RFID technology is widely used in various industries for tracking inventory and controlling access. When used for hotel room access, RFID door locks utilize a combination of the following components, depending on the system:

RFID door lock card reader

RFID key card or key fob

Mobile device

Bluetooth compatible smart device (i.e. smartwatch, etc.)

The RFID locking system does not require users to insert or swipe a card. Instead, it uses proximity and radio frequencies to communicate with the RFID reader on the door. Containing similar information as magnetic key cards, hotels program RFID key card, or smart device access when a guest checks in. When waved in front of the card reader, the key card or smart device quickly communicates the user’s info with the door lock reader, verifies authorized access, and unlocks the door to the user.

This ongoing technology used in RFID locking systems offers hotels many advantages:

Smart device access improves security.

It is not necessary to have a physical card that can be easily lost.

If RFID cards are used, they are more durable.

With no swiping or insertion, it eliminates wear and tear to the reader.

It can be programmed to allow or restrict access to hotel amenities and other access points.
