By Brenda Warner


For many businesses security is important, not only for their employees but customers as well. Hotels rely on good security for their guests so they may feel comfortable during their stay. This is why their is a new lock technology sweeping across the business and hospitality industry. The use of RFID key cards is fast becoming the standard in locking systems.

RFID or radio frequency identification is on the rise among hotel chains and other business types that employ this technology. It is unlike magnetic strip or computer chip cards which are slowly becoming obsolete. RFID locking systems have many advantages over their predecessors.

The main advantage is the level of security that guests in hotel chains that use this technology have. There are no longer problems with illegal entry, or losing keys or keys not working due to being unreadable or worn from use. Magnetic strip and computer chip cards are notorious for malfunctioning due to repeated use. This was very costly for hotels as they either had to change the lock or get new cards that worked.

The radio frequency that is encoded will match and the lock disengages upon successful presentation of the card key. This is refined keyless entry at its best. There is no physical contact with the lock which saves on wear and tear of the mechanism. Also, there are no issues with the card being unreadable as with magnetic and computer chip card readers.

Hotel guests can go about their day away knowing that their room is secure from unwanted entry. It gives guests peace of mind and the hotel possibly gains a lifetime customer. The idea of keyless entry has the benefit of amazing the hotel guests. It is the latest technology and people like the idea of being the first to experience new technologies.

Many businesses and hotels are in the process of updating their locking systems to RFID technology. This method is quickly becoming a standard among the industry. Many are now employing this technology in the workplace, in factories, warehouses, and government buildings as well as hotels. It is the best system of keyless entry on the market today.

Not only does this device save money, but it will also save costs in repair and maintenance. Since the locks are not touched by human hands or exposed to dust or dirt that can get inside the mechanism and ruin it, the cost of replacing locks or keys is minimal. This also saves time as a business can use their maintenance department for other more pertinent issues within the business.

As more locking systems become obsolete in favor of RFID technology, business and society will reap the benefits of a more secure world compared to the past. However, technology is always changing and developing bigger and better things. Who knows what the future of security will be, but for now, RFID is catching fire and providing more security than in the past. This technology makes our world a better place to live and work.
