HID Corporation 1346 ProxKey III Key Fob Proximity Access Card Keyfob, 1-1/4" Length x 1-1/2" Height x 15/64" Thick (Pack of 1)

We purchased the HID 1326 key fobs for our office access control system, and they have been fantastic. These key fobs are small, lightweight, and incredibly easy to carry on a keyring, which our staff really appreciates. Despite their compact size, they work flawlessly with our existing HID proximity readers. The fobs have been very reliable so far—no issues with scanning or recognition. They are also durable, withstanding daily wear and tear without any signs of damage. The range is excellent, and we haven’t encountered any problems with proximity detection. Overall, the HID 1326 key fobs are a great choice for any access control system that uses proximity readers. They offer convenience, durability, and consistent performance. Highly recommended!

These worked exactly as they were supposed to. I don't have a special programmer or any real experience with these, so it was pretty simple. I add cards for our small business through an IP based dashboard and didn't have any problems. The format on these is the standard 26 Bit Wiegand and the card/fob number is stamped on the back of these. The facility code is not included and is necessary to program these. I read some of the other reviews that said you could contact HID Global with the order number (also stamped on the back of the fob) and they would tell you the facility code. As some of the other reviews said, mine were preprogrammed with a facility code of 82. From an actual product standpoint, these seem to be working great. My employees kept losing the larger cards and this way they have them attached to their key rings and have less of a chance of losing them. They're very small and not too bulky. They're a little bit larger than the size of a quarter.

Waste of money, could not be programmed for the gate access after trying multiple methods with HOA

Great fob . HID is always a quality pruduct

It came when promised. I bought to replace my fob that had came apart. I bought a writer/reader copy my old fob to it. Is it encrypted, I don’t know. I’m able to read it but not to write to. I will probably buy another reader/writer to see if it will be able program it. It would be nice to include in the narrative if this needs a special machine to program it. I will kindly change my review once I find the proper writer

Works perfect for my pool access at the HOA community center. Saved a good amount by not buying from the HOA.

This will be one of my shorter reviews, as there is not a lot to say about a proximity key fob. Obviously, you get precisely one of these, so if you are in need of just one, this is good. Many other situations put you in possession of ten or fifty or one hundred. Some of the information given is somewhat misleading. Yes, you can use a ProxProgrammer to program it, but very few will have that, and those that do are more likely to purchase these fobs in quantities of 1000 or more. So in this case you will receive a key fob pre-programmed with a number almost invariably between 00000 and 65535, most likely in the 5000-15000 range (but not necessarily). The fob works with any HIDProx readers. This is a specific format, so don't just take frequency as anything. If the reader handles HIDProx, great. If not? Not great. Range-wise, the fob has less antenna than a card, so the range is about half that of a card or less. However the fob has a very sturdy ring opening that makes it very suitable for key rings and such. In cases where people are prone to lose cards, this can be an excellent alternative if the coded data does not need to also have something like an ID picture attached. This is NOT considered a secure token. The reader will report just a number that can easily be special-ordered on another fob. But somebody would have to read your fob to get that, then go through the effort to duplicate it. Generally that means having your fob, in which case it doesn't matter, they don't need to duplicate it. Otherwise, I expect that for the most part, people will know they need something like this and come here because of the singular quantity, so hopefully the information above will provide some help. I give this five stars, but I will state it is a BASELINE five stars. A normal product for a very specific purpose and use and without any faults worthy of reducing the rating. Please let Amazon and me know if this review is helpful to you and as always, I will answer any questions and comments that I can.

I live in a condo building and our exterior doors and parking garage are accessed by these HID fobs. Our property management co wanted $35 each for pre-programmed fobs so I thought I would order a couple of these & save a few bucks. A word of caution here: these fobs are absolutely authentic, BUT, they will need to be "activated" for the specific entry/access system that you want to use them with; They won't work on their own, (right out of the box). To get the new fobs to be compatible with your doors, you have 2 options: 1) Take these new fobs to your property manager and see if they will activate them into their system, OR, 2) Spend about $30 and buy an HID fob duplicator. The duplicator can read an existing fob that is already authorized in your system and copies (writes) the correct activation info onto the new fob. With this method, the door system thinks the new fob is the old fob, since they will have the same activation code, but that should not be a problem.

As advertised, and what I wanted

It was similar to what I had but the building management said they only program the units that they sell! I had to return it and pay double for the one from my building!

I was able to write onto this fob for a while but after 2-ish months the fob stopped working and I couldn't write onto it again.

Excellent

Considering that RFID tags cost -literally- 50 cents per item when bought off Ebay or Aliexpress, paying 19 dollars for one seems like an absolute scam... But I couldn't find this exact frequency RFID tag on those websites, and needed just a single one for a very specific purpose, so I had to fork out for it. That being said, its a well-made tag, and does what it says on the tin.
