Salto Key Fobs are a popular choice for access control systems, utilizing sophisticated technologies like MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire, and MIFARE Ultralight C. Understanding your options for salto key fobs, whether for replacement, duplication, or bulk purchase, is crucial for property managers, security installers, and individuals alike. While original Salto fobs are available through management offices, compatible salto key fobs offer a cost-effective and readily accessible alternative, especially for bulk orders.
For those seeking volume discounts, we offer compatible salto key fobs at competitive prices, without requiring a Salto account. You can explore our bulk options here: https://www.mrkeyfob.com/collections/bulk-condo-fobs-and-remotes/products/salto-fobs-cards. Please be aware that while functionally identical, our compatible salto key fobs may have a different shape than the original manufacturer’s design. For exact shape replication, purchasing directly from your management office remains the best option.
Duplicating Your Salto Key Fobs: Methods and Tools
Duplicating salto key fobs is achievable through several methods. We support two primary approaches: utilizing the MIFARE Classic Tool (MCT) and employing an NXP PN532 reader.
Method 1: Reading Data with MIFARE Classic Tool (MCT)
The MIFARE Classic Tool (MCT) is a widely-used Android application designed for interacting with MIFARE Classic tags. This user-friendly tool allows you to read the data from your salto key fobs, which can then be used for duplication. MCT is readily available for download from app stores and is also open-source on Github: https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool.
Step-by-step guide to reading your Salto key fob with MCT:
- Initiate Reading: Open the MCT app and select “READ TAG”.
- Select Sectors and Start Mapping: Tap “SELECT ALL,” place your salto key fob against the back of your Android phone, and press “START MAPPING AND READ TAG.” Allow up to a minute for the reading process to complete.
- Verify Data and Share: Upon successful reading, the app will display the key fob’s data. Ensure all sectors contain data and no sectors are marked as “No keys found (or dead sector)”. Tap the “Share” icon and email the generated .mct file to yourself.
- Submit .mct File with Your Order: When placing your order for duplication, attach the .mct file (filename starting with UID_) on the order page.
- Receive Your Programmed Fob: We will program and send you a compatible salto key fob based on the data from your provided .mct file.
Method 2: DIY Cloning with an NXP PN532 Reader
For users who prefer a hands-on approach, we offer the unique service of providing an NXP PN532 reader for self-cloning. This method requires a computer and offers greater control over the duplication process. Detailed instructions for using the PN532 reader for salto key fob duplication are available here: PN532 Cloner Duplication Instructions.
Whether you choose the convenience of MCT or the control of a PN532 reader, duplicating your salto key fobs has never been easier. Explore our compatible options and simplify your access control management today.
