Description
Schlage MTK GREY Multi-Technology Card Reader with Keypad for AD-Series Locks
The Schlage MTK GREY Multi-Technology Reader with Keypad is a versatile Schlage card reader designed for compatible Schlage AD-Series networked locks and devices. Combining credential reading with a built-in keypad, the MTK provides a flexible access control solution for facilities using both traditional proximity credentials and newer smart card technologies.
Designed to support credential migrations and mixed-technology environments, the MTK reader accommodates 125 kHz proximity credentials and compatible 13.56 MHz smart credentials. The integrated keypad also provides additional PIN-entry capability for access control applications requiring credential-plus-keypad functionality.
Key Features
|
Credential TechnologyThe Schlage MTK reader provides multi-technology credential support for organizations operating mixed or transitioning access control systems.
Credential compatibility should always be verified against the specific AD-Series lock, reader configuration and credential technology before ordering. |
Schlage Card Reader for AD-Series Access Control
For facilities using Schlage electronic access control hardware, the MTK GREY Schlage card reader provides a practical way to support multiple credential technologies without requiring separate proximity and smart card readers. This makes it especially useful for organizations migrating from older 125 kHz proximity cards to higher-frequency smart credentials.
The addition of the keypad allows the MTK to support applications where a card or credential may be used together with a PIN. This combination makes the reader well suited for commercial offices, healthcare facilities, education campuses, government buildings and other controlled-access environments using compatible Schlage AD-Series electronic locks.
Typical Applications
|
Why Use a Multi-Technology Reader?Organizations do not always replace every credential at once. A multi-technology reader can help support existing proximity credentials while an organization transitions toward newer smart card technologies. The Schlage MTK combines multi-technology credential reading and keypad entry in one reader module, reducing the need for separate devices while providing flexibility for current and future access control requirements. |
Schlage Reader Comparison
| Reader | Technology | Keypad | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTK GREY | 125 kHz proximity + 13.56 MHz smart credentials | Yes | AD-Series applications requiring multi-technology credential reading plus PIN entry |
| MT GREY | 125 kHz proximity + 13.56 MHz smart credentials | No | Multi-technology credential reading without keypad entry |
| MTK15 | Multi-technology wall-mounted reader | Yes | Standalone wall-mounted reader applications rather than an AD-Series reader module |
Important Compatibility Note
The Schlage MTK GREY is an AD-Series reader module and should not be confused with standalone wall-mounted Schlage readers such as the MTK15. Confirm the lock model, credential technology, finish and reader configuration before ordering.
