Mag-Stripe & Smart Keycards ASSA ABLOY Hospitality offers a range of keycards to manage your property and access credentials whether you have a traditional mag-stripe lock or a combo lock working with both mag-stripe and smart cards.

Coercivity refers to the density of the magnetic particles in the stripe. This density is measured in oersted (oe). LoCo has 300 oe, HiCo has 2750 oe.
