Vancouver SecuraKey Access Control

For over 40 years, Secura Key has been the value leader in the Access Control industry, manufacturing complete multi-door Access Control Systems, including access control panels, software, card access readers, cards, key tags, and accessories.

Secura Key also offers stand-alone readers for single-door keyless entry applications.  Secura Key’s card and reader technologies include Touch Card™ (Barium Ferrite), Wiegand Swipe Cards, Proximity Cards, Contactless Smart Cards, as well as UHF, MIFARE®, DESFire® , and Multi-technology cards, and four-color digital custom printing is available.

Secura Key also supplies products to the RFID industry, such as embedded or weatherproof reader/writers, LF, HF and UHF transponders, and it also provides custom solutions and technical assistance to RFID integrators.

Touch Card – Barium Ferrite Technology

Touch Card™ technology combines a legacy card technology with a high-tech solid-state reader. The cards contain a Barium Ferrite insert, which is encoded by magnetizing spots in a specific pattern with specific polarities. While the original mechanical technology used an insert reader with small magnets and a micro switch, the patented slot less TOUCHCARD™ reader uses sophisticated Hall-effect sensors to read the cards through a stainless steel plate, and it is protected from weather and vandalism.

OEM/Wiegand Output Readers – The SK-029W acts as a secondary reader with the 28SA-Plus. Secura Key also offers the SK-028 and SK-034 readers, which output Wiegand, Serial, or Clock and Data formats, and are sold through OEM suppliers.

Proximity Access Control Reader

Radio Key® readers are available in three form factors: the RK-WM, an S-shaped mini-mullion; the RK-WS, a traditional single-gang box “wall switch” housing; and the RK-WL, a large post/wall mount housing for long range applications.

Radio Key® readers use 125 kHz proximity technology, and work with Secura Key encoded cards and key tags. Radio Key® readers use patented Dynascan® automatic tuning to optimize the reader to its RF environment, which provides dramatically better read range than competing products with the same antenna size.

Radio Key® readers have an SIA standard Wiegand output and transmit data in virtually any Wiegand format up to 40 bits, so the are compatible with most access control panels including the Secura Key SK-ACP.

Radio Key® models have a wire pigtail for easy field connections. All Radio Key® readers are weatherproof, epoxy-potted units suitable for outdoors. All models are UL 294 Listed and FCC/CE approved devices.

Dual Technology Proximity Access Control Readers

Secura Key dealers have long asked for a dual technology Prox reader that would read both Radio Key® cards and HID® Prox cards, allowing them to merge systems or to transition customers from HID® to Radio Key®. That’s why we developed the RKDT-WM and RKDT-WS.

RKDT Readers can read Radio Key® 26 and 32-bit cards, HID® 26-bit Prox cards, and most HID® Prox cards with non-proprietary formats up to 37 bits.  They are compatible with most access control panels including the Secura Key SK-ACP.

Radio Key® dual technology readers are available in two form factors: the RKDT-WM, an S-shaped mini-mullion; the RKDT-WS, a traditional single-gang box “switch plate” housing.

Radio Key® dual technology readers use automatic tuning to optimize the reader to its RF environment, which provides dramatically better read range than competing products with the same antenna size.

The Radio Key® RKDT-WM has a wire pigtail for easy field connections. The RKDT-WS has a plug-in cable harness. All Radio Key® readers are weatherproof, epoxy-potted units suitable for outdoors. All models are UL 294 Listed and FCC/CE approved devices.
