Will it work with Dormakaba locks?
Yes. Dormakaba locks read MIFARE DESFire EV3, LEGIC advant, and we embed the exact family your installation uses. If you are unsure which chip your system reads, send us one of your current key cards and we verify it before production.
Compatibility depends on the chip, not the body. A standard body reads at the same distance and speed as the original key card.
Encoding: blank or pre-encoded?
Either. We ship blank key cards that you encode at your own desk with your Dormakaba software, or — if you share your sector keys — we deliver them pre-encoded and numbered.
Most properties choose blank stock; it works on your existing encoder straight out of the box.
Material options
Recycled PVC, PLA bioplastic, paper/board, leather and wood are all available, and any of them can carry a Dormakaba compatible chip. The choice is about brand identity and budget.
Printing, engraving, numbering, QR and an NFC layer can be added. The reverse can carry room directions, Wi-Fi and spa information.
Frequently asked questions
+I have Dormakaba locks — will your key cards work?
Yes. We produce with the chip family your Dormakaba system reads (MIFARE DESFire EV3, LEGIC advant). If you are unsure, we inspect a sample of your current key card and confirm compatibility before production.
+Can you deliver key cards pre-encoded?
Yes, if you share your sector keys we deliver them pre-encoded and numbered. Otherwise we ship blank stock you encode on your own Dormakaba encoder.
+What is your minimum order quantity?
Low quantities are possible for boutique properties; unit cost drops noticeably above 500 pieces. A branded sample set is sent before production.
+How long does production take?
Typically 10–15 working days after artwork approval; wood and leather bodies may take a few days longer. We ship worldwide from Istanbul.
