Darwin Swipe Card
Swipe cards are a smart and scalable way to manage access across homes, offices and shared buildings. At Darwin Lock & Key, we supply and install swipe card access systems as part of our Salto Access Control range. These wire-free systems use encrypted RFID technology and can be integrated into existing networks or used as standalone units for lockers, doors and shared spaces.
- Edit user access in real time without updating each door or card individually.
- Lost cards can be blocked instantly with hot spot syncing for added security.
Salto’s system includes a virtual network (SVN) that updates user permissions via hot spots – meaning you don’t have to physically access each lock to change or cancel access. Swipe cards are available alongside wristbands, watches, key tags and fobs, with real-time activity monitoring built in. Whether you're securing a commercial office or shared entry building, we'll help you find the right solution.

How do swipe card access systems work?
Swipe card systems use magnetic stripe or RFID cards that store encrypted data linked to an access control system. When the card is swiped or presented to a reader, the system checks the user’s credentials and grants or denies access based on pre-set permissions. These systems are commonly used in offices, apartment complexes and secure facilities, offering controlled entry to authorised users. Many swipe card systems are scalable, allowing for centralised control of multiple doors, zones and users. They can also be integrated with alarms, time tracking and other security features for added convenience.
Are swipe card systems secure?
Swipe card systems are generally secure, especially those that use encrypted RFID technology. Unlike traditional keys, access cards can be quickly deactivated if lost or stolen, and their use can be tracked via system logs. Advanced systems like Salto allow for real-time updates through virtual networks, making it easy to change access rights without physically visiting each door. However, to maintain a high level of security, it's important to implement user management protocols, regularly update access permissions and choose a reputable access control brand.
Can I integrate swipe cards with other security systems?
Yes, most modern swipe card systems can be integrated with alarms, CCTV, intercoms and remote monitoring platforms. This allows for comprehensive access control that’s not only user-friendly but also adaptable to the specific security needs of your property. Integration makes it possible to monitor entry and exit activity, receive real-time alerts, and automate responses such as locking down doors in an emergency. A professional locksmith or security provider can help design an integrated solution tailored to your building layout and access policies.
