Entering new key fobs for a magnetic front door lock

Hello Experts - I recently ran out of key fobs for our front door security.  This is a Stanley Security B.A.S.I.S. ET693 system.  Our current fobs don't have much info on them other than the letters HID.  I see plenty of HID branded fobs around online but I am unsure if they will work with my system.  I'm also unsure how to get them working with our software once I purchase them.  I'd appreciate any assistance in sorting through this, thanks!

I would go about this by taking the model of your card readers and seeing which standard of cards they are compatible with.

Look for tech sheets and the readers should list the various standards the support.

I'm not familiar with the particular system your'e using, unfortunately.

You would normally have a portable USB card reader that plugs into the PC running the software. This would then allow you to read new fobs, and authorise them on the system.

Some alarm systems also have a series of menus that allow you add additional fobs.

There are some documents at the bottom of this page that might help:
