Lock Compatibility · Adel Group
Adel hotel key cards
Reorder Adel hotel cards using your current card reference, quantity, artwork and a site test.
For independently sourced replacement cards. Confirm the exact credential and your property's authorization requirements before ordering; brand names identify the intended locking system.
Start with these three details
Share what you know; you can begin before every item is confirmed. If you have an approved card specification, include it in your quote request.
- System & current card
- Exact ADEL lock and encoder models, issuing software and your current card reference; list different reader groups separately.
- Quantity
- Approximate quantity for each artwork or property.
- Delivery
- Destination country and your preferred arrival date.

Pricing for Adel key cards
Adel card orders are quoted against the confirmed current credential, printing and preparation. The brand name alone does not identify the card specification or price.
Confirm unit price, minimum quantity per design, card preparation, printing, sample charges and delivery in your project quote. Compare general card price formats. Those ranges do not establish the credential for this installation.
A price range is not a compatibility statement. Confirm the chip with test samples in your own locks before ordering.
Order planning
What determines your quote
Start with your quantity, destination and Adel system details. The final card specification determines the minimum order, price and schedule.
- Card specification
- Confirm the chip manufacturer and exact part, credential preparation, material, dimensions, thickness and finish. A chip family name alone is not an order specification.
- Minimum order
- Request the MOQ for your selected chip, material and finish. State the quantity for each artwork and property; multiple designs may have separate minimums.
- Price & delivery terms
- Request unit prices by quantity, the currency, setup charges, sample costs and packing. Confirm whether freight, duties and taxes are included, and the delivery term.
- Production & arrival
- Give your required arrival date and destination country. Confirm production time after specification, sample and artwork approval; shipping and customs need a separate allowance.
Confirm your Adel setup
Plan a printed Adel card reorder around your hotel’s current card reference, lock and encoder models, and issuing software. List quantities and artwork by property or building so the quote covers each requirement.
Confirm the required credential and preparation with your system provider, then arrange an agreed sample test. Include the card construction, artwork, quantities, destination and preferred arrival date with the accepted specification for the printed order.
Adel credential reference
Use the manufacturer references below to prepare your inquiry. Supported credential families, card preparation and installed configurations must be checked together; these are not interchangeable purchase options.
| System / application | Card / chip | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Current hotel installation | Provider-confirmed credential specification | Use the active card part number, lock and encoder models and issuing software. Confirm any preparation required before selecting stock. |
| Multiple buildings or replaced readers | Confirm each reader group separately | A shared brand name does not establish that each building uses the same card. Keep specifications and quantities identifiable by property or reader group. |
| Unknown current card | Agree identification and an authorized sample test | Start with non-sensitive model labels and any existing specification. Confirm the proposed media with the system provider rather than guessing from appearance or age. |

- Project quotes showing preparation, sample scope, packaging and delivery terms
Before a production order
Approve a sample in your own system
Agree both the technical test and the sample costs first. An unprinted test card checks the credential; a printed proof checks the artwork and finish.
Agree what will be tested
Confirm the proposed credential, card body and encoder requirements. Ask for sample quantity, sample charges, courier cost and dispatch timing before arranging shipment.
Issue a test credential on site
Have your authorized property team enroll and encode the sample in your current system. A successful reader scan or matching UID format does not prove that a guest credential will work.
Check the complete guest journey
Test the intended room locks and any configured elevator or shared-area readers. Include check-in, expiry and reissue in the test, and record the software, encoder and lock versions used.
Approve the production specification
Record the accepted credential and artwork reference, material, size and finish. Reconfirm these details if your system or card specification changes before a reorder.
For the initial review, share the lock model, encoder/software details and a non-sensitive card reference. Keep guest data, live access credentials and system security keys with your authorized team.
Request test cardsProcurement evidence
What to review before you order
Ask which documents are available for your proposed card and review their scope before approval. A lock manufacturer's specification does not certify a third-party card.
Exact card & chip specification
Manufacturer and part number, credential preparation requirements, card dimensions and tolerances, material, print finish and the approved artwork revision.
Sample acceptance record
The sample reference, encoding setup, doors and readers tested, results and approval date. A factory read check and a property compatibility test answer different questions.
Material & test evidence
Ask which reports apply to the proposed material and finished card. Check the issuer, date, tested item and scope; request sourcing documentation if certified material is part of your specification.
Written quotation & quality terms
Quantity by design, agreed inspection criteria, production schedule, packing, shipping terms and the process for reporting and resolving a manufacturing defect.
A blank specification and acceptance checklist for your team to complete; it is not a certificate or a completed test report.
Review the quality and sample checks guide for the information to agree before production.
Adel key card questions
What card should I order for Adel hotel locks?
Ask your system provider to confirm the credential used by your current lock, encoder and issuing software. Include an active card part number or specification if available. The Adel name or installation age alone does not establish the correct chip, configuration or preparation.
Can we enquire if we do not know the chip?
Yes. Begin with the lock and encoder model labels, issuing software, current card reference if available, approximate quantity and destination. Agree identification and sample checks with your system provider before choosing replacement stock.
Can one order cover more than one building?
List each building’s reader and credential specification separately, together with quantities and artwork. Agree any shared access requirements with the system provider and test the proposed cards across the required reader groups before approving a combined order.
What should be confirmed before printing Adel replacement cards?
Agree the credential, preparation, physical card construction, artwork version and quantity per design. Confirm the minimum order, sample and setup charges, production timing and delivery terms in the quote. Have an authorized operator issue and test agreed samples before production approval.
