Salto key fobs and tags are part of a smart, wire-free access control system designed to suit everything from homes and offices to lockers, gates and entire commercial premises. These encrypted RFID tags are lightweight, contactless and easy to carry, offering quick and secure identification for authorised users.
We supply and install Salto’s Virtual Network (SVN), which lets you update key tags using 'hot spots' – no need to manually update each door. This system allows lost tags to be instantly blocked, and new permissions to be assigned in real time.

What’s the difference between a key fob and a key tag?
Both key fobs and key tags are used in electronic access control systems, but they differ slightly in form and features. A key fob is typically a small plastic device that uses RFID or proximity technology to grant access when waved near a reader. Key tags are similar in function but often have a flat, disc-shaped design that attaches easily to keyrings. Both options are contactless, secure and convenient, and the choice between them usually comes down to system compatibility and personal preference. In many cases, they can be programmed to provide access to specific doors, floors or time zones.
Are key fobs secure for access control?
Yes, key fobs are generally considered secure when used as part of a well-managed access control system. They use encrypted RFID technology to prevent cloning or unauthorised access and can be individually programmed or deactivated at any time. If a fob is lost or stolen, the system administrator can block its access immediately — reducing security risks. Some systems also log entry data for auditing purposes, allowing organisations to track when and where users have entered. To enhance security further, key fobs can be combined with PIN codes or biometric identification.
Can I replace or reprogram a lost key fob?
Yes, most key fobs can be replaced and reprogrammed by the building’s access control administrator or a qualified locksmith. When a fob is lost, it should be deactivated immediately in the system to prevent unauthorised use. A new fob can then be issued and linked to the user’s profile or access group. Some systems allow remote management, while others require onsite hardware to update credentials. It’s important to use a compatible fob model and follow the system’s programming procedures to ensure smooth setup and functionality.
