A price range is not a compatibility statement. Confirm the chip with test samples in your own locks before ordering.
Be-Tech hotel locks are installed in midscale hotels and resorts across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and beyond, with RFID series (including the long-running Visual family) plus legacy magstripe models still in service.
Be-Tech’s RFID catalogue is commonly paired with MIFARE Classic 1K for guest credentials, which opens most card materials: PVC, degradable PVC, wood, bamboo and paper. Legacy magstripe floors take LoCo cards. Treat these as reference pairings; confirm the installed model and current credential with your installer and test samples before the run.
Which chip does Be-Tech read?
Reader and credential options depend on the installed model and configuration. Confirm the specification, preparation and sample plan, then test on your encoder and representative doors before ordering.
| Lock generation | Card / chip | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visual series and current RFID lines | MIFARE Classic 1K commonly used | The common reference pairing; confirm with test samples in your own locks. |
| Legacy magstripe models | LoCo magstripe (300 Oe) as a reference | Still running in older estates; confirm coercivity and track layout from the current stock. |
| Mobile-enabled deployments | Cards alongside mobile keys | Cards usually remain the guest default; confirm the card credential separately from the mobile setup. |
| Property-specific setups | Confirm the installed credential specification | Installer-configured options exist; settle them with the current card specification and a test sample. |

How verification works
- 1
Record the installed system
Find the lock and encoder model labels and ask your installer for the issuing software and current credential specification. A card photo alone does not identify security configuration.
- 2
Confirm the proposed credential
Send non-sensitive system details to sales@cardotel.com or through the inquiry form. Agree the card specification and sample purpose, availability, costs and shipping.
- 3
Test before approval
An authorized operator should issue samples and check the required doors and readers, including reissue and expiry. Agree acceptance criteria before approving the printed order.
Be-Tech key card questions
Which chip do Be-Tech hotel locks read?
Be-Tech RFID series, including the Visual family, are commonly paired with MIFARE Classic 1K. Confirm your exact generation and credential with your installer, then test samples in your own doors before printing.
Our resort mixes Be-Tech doors with pool lockers. One credential for both?
Where lockers and doors accept the same MIFARE Classic 1K credential, one card or wristband can often serve both, enrolled through your own systems. Test both reader groups in the sample phase; a shared chip family alone does not establish compatibility.
Can you match our existing Be-Tech card supplier’s specification?
Share the current card specification (chip, thickness, material, print finish) and keep a reference card. A proof and samples can then be agreed so both your doors and your brand team can sign off before production.
What is the minimum order?
Specify the chip or stripe, material, quantity per design, printing and destination. Minimum order, pricing and any volume tiers are confirmed in a dated project quote.
