We are going to break down the benefits of utilising Hotel Key Cards into three areas, user benefits, security benefits and operational benefits.
The difference between a Key Card and traditional key is not massively impactful on your overall carrying weight; However, having keys is much more difficult than a card that can go into your wallet or purse alongside your payment cards.
Key Cards were designed to be easy to carry and not give you an additional thing to take with you, keys can be bulky and hard to find a comfortable place to store.
On the other hand, a Key Card is much more portable and lightweight.
Being able to get into your room easily and quickly makes the whole process a lot smoother and will improve guest perception of the hotel.
Pair this with how simple it is to check in and check out, and you have an effortless process from start to finish that is designed with the guest in mind.
Understanding how to create a winning guest experience is an important part of managing a hotel and also improving your security.
Unlike a traditional lock and key system, you will be able to track and manage your access control system from a central computer.
You will have a record of who has access to where, what keys have been issued, and if they have been returned or are still activated.
This can be good in an emergency as you can unlock all fire or outer doors to provide a quick and safe exit.
Another benefit of a Key Card access control system in a hotel is the fact it is incredibly cost-effective.
With each card being reprogrammable countless times and holding a very low cost of manufacture you can easily replace any cards you need to.
If you lose a card it can be deactivated, if you lose a metal key, on the other hand, you run the risk of a security breach or may even need to change the locks.
Having a system that is both easy to issue a new card but also hard for a layman or guest to copy means you will be much safer as a whole.
Key Card access control in hotels creates a safer environment and you do not run the risk of a guest copying a Key Card like they could a metal key.
There are a whole plethora of reasons that make a Key Card system more secure than other forms of security or access control.
Take for example a lock and key system, you do not know who has what keys and if one is lost your whole system is compromised. Let’s put this example into Key Card context.
Most systems actually allow for you to manually and remotely deactivate cards in the event of a Key Card being lost, stolen, or accidentally taken.
