RFID Access Control Key Fobs - page 3

Proximity key fobs are perfect for increasing security in your organisation. They are designed to prevent unauthorised access to doors and buildings, by granting permission with a fob that contains a smart technology chip. This chip can be encoded to work with your access control system, meaning your key fobs easily work with multiple door readers.

Access control fobs can be customised specifically to each user depending on their requirements. If your building contains areas where sensitive information and data is stored, you can use key fobs and door readers to prevent and grant access to certain rooms.

Key fobs are ideal for any business, no matter small or large. They are perfect for upgrading security measures to stop data or equipment from being stolen, and secure your property at all times. There are a range of access control fob keys with different abilities, with various compatibility and frequency options. We offer low frequency fobs (125kHz) which use RFID technology for contactless entry, as well as high grequency (13.56MHz) which utilises both RFID and NFC, making it great for advanced security and encryption. Low frequency stores less data, whereas high frequency is able to store much more, making it better suited for secure applications.

For easy scalability, we offer fob keys as standalone products, or in packs of 10, 50 or 100. This allows you to have a fully enhanced system in your business quickly.

Depending on your businesses requirements, proximity key fobs and proximity cards can vary in cost. If you require a cost-effective solution that is easily portable and lightweight, keyfobs offer this as standard. Pair your RFID fob keys with our durable lanyards, and other accessories likes badge reels, for easy access, meaning they are less likely to be lost or damaged.

Access control proximity cards are a great alternative to standard access control solutions like key fobs. If you require versatility and freedom to customise the surface for identification purposes, cards are a great option, as they allow you to create unique designs.

Not sure what ID card systems you require? Take a look at our advanced security systems blog for further guidance.

A key fob is a small, portable device used to authenticate a user and grant access to a secure area. In access control, key fobs replace traditional keys by using RFID or proximity technology to communicate with a door reader. When the fob is presented, the system checks its unique ID and either grants or denies entry.

Access control key fobs contain an embedded chip programmed with a unique code. When the fob is held near a compatible door reader, it uses radio waves to transmit that code wirelessly. The system then verifies the ID and unlocks the door if the user is authorised. This makes the process quick, secure and completely contactless.

RFID and proximity key fobs are used across multiple sectors, including corporate offices, healthcare, government buildings, education, logistics and retail. They are ideal for any environment that needs controlled access, staff identification and secure management of restricted areas.

Yes. Many access control key fobs are available in multiple colours and finishes, allowing you to match your organisation’s branding or use colour-coding to identify different user groups or access levels across your site.

If a key fob is lost, it can be quickly deactivated within your access control system to prevent unauthorised entry. Once it’s disabled, you can issue a replacement fob to the user without needing to change any door hardware or disrupt your security setup.

Each credential type offers different benefits:

• RFID Key Fobs: Compact, durable and ideal for everyday use on keyrings.
• RFID Cards: Provide extra space for printing ID photos, branding and visual security checks.
• Mobile Access: Uses smartphones via NFC or Bluetooth for a convenient, key-free experience.

The best option depends on your environment. Many organisations now use a hybrid approach, offering fobs for durability, cards for ID display, and mobile credentials for added flexibility.

Compatibility usually depends on the following:

• Manufacturer (Paxton, MIFARE, HID, PAC, etc)
• Frequency: 125kHz (proximity) or 13.56MHz (RFID)
• Technology type: RFID or NFC

If you're unsure which fob your system requires, our expert team are always happy to help you identify the correct option.
