Pricing for TTLock & smart locks key cards
No indicative range is published for app-managed locks: the supported credential depends on the exact hardware. 125 kHz (T5577/EM) cards are quoted per specification; once the reader specification is confirmed, the quote uses the matching format from the full price table.
Indicative USD ranges per card at 1,000–4,999 pieces per design, four-colour offset printing included, EXW Dongguan; freight, duties, taxes, special finishes, sleeves and credential preparation are quoted separately, and the exact price is set in a dated quote.
Quantity bands. Per design, against the 1,000–4,999 range: about −15% from 5,000 pieces, −25% from 10,000 and −35% from 25,000; 500–999 pieces run about +35%. Full price table
A price range is not a compatibility statement. Confirm the chip with test samples in your own locks before ordering.
TTLock and Tuya app-managed installations can use hardware from different manufacturers. App-based management, PIN entry and a card enrollment menu do not identify a universal RFID chip.
Record the lock manufacturer, exact model, reader frequency, supported card technology and enrollment requirements from its documentation. Confirm the proposed credential on the actual lock and app configuration, then request a quote for the chosen format and artwork.
Which chip does TTLock & smart locks 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 |
|---|---|---|
| TTLock-managed hardware with a card reader | Follow the exact hardware specification | Confirm supported credential type and enrollment requirements with the lock manufacturer; an IC-card menu alone is insufficient. |
| Tuya-managed hardware with a card reader | Follow the exact hardware specification | Do not copy a chip assumption from a different device that uses the same app. |
| Hardware documented as using 125 kHz | Confirm the supported LF part and configuration | Frequency alone does not prove a particular card or fob can be enrolled. |
| Keypad-only model without a card reader | No card function | A card or fob requires reader hardware; consult the lock provider about suitable replacement hardware if needed. |

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.
TTLock & smart locks key card questions
Will your cards enroll through the TTLock app?
That depends on the exact lock hardware and supported credential. Obtain the manufacturer’s specification, confirm sample availability and charges, and enroll an agreed sample through the authorized workflow before approving printed stock.
What is the minimum order for a small property portfolio?
Specify the chip or stripe, material, quantity per design, printing and destination. Confirm pricing, minimum order and any quantity discounts in a dated project quote.
Should we choose a card or a fob?
Compare carrying style, artwork space, construction and a dated quote. Confirm that each proposed format meets the hardware specification and can be enrolled; two formats are not interchangeable merely because they share a chip family name.
Can keypad-only locks use a card?
A lock without a card reader cannot read a card. Ask the hardware provider which reader-equipped model and management features fit your installation; do not assume all models managed by the same app offer the same features.
