Schlage Electronic Security

The MAG1 magstripe card functions as a credential for providing access to spaces within your facility. A decades proven technology, magnetic stripe cards perform best in a low-security, clean environment where traffic through the door is kept to a minimum, and interference from strong magnetic fields is not a concern (i.e. checkout counters). Settings with a high amount of circulating dust/dirt tend to diminish the ability the electromechanical magstripe reader to operate properly. For higher security applications, or more industrial settings, we recommend a Prox card/fob, as these allow for a unique id number, and are more ruggedized to serve a host of environmental conditions. Proximity credentials when presented to their acquiring device are fully contactless.
