Does installing in a metal door interfere with reading the RFID chip?

I don't know but I wouldn't think it would be a problem. In general I've found the RFID reader to be very sensitive and doesn't always work.

I have mine installed in a metal door (standard people door - not a roll up garage door) and it works fine. As I recall the instructions for cutting the hole specify a larger hole when using a metal door. This larger hole puts about a quarter inch gap between the door and RFID reader. This prevents the metal in the door from interfering with the Rfid Reader. The gap is not visible after installation - it's covered by the cat door trim panel.

No, as long as you follow their specific instructions for metal door installation, which I did.

If aligned correctly about 2 cm. If they are not aligned correctly the reader will detect the RFID card but will not read the serial number

My Yubikey NEO failed to register through NFC 9/10 times with this cover, replacing the original cover fixed the problem. I cannot say it will interfere with all NFC communications, but in my case it did cause problems.

I mounted my inside receiver to the jamb of window facing outside unit that I mounted inside of the bird box sold separately. My unit works lide a charm. I do not know about signal going through metal wall . I would not take anything for my unit. I would stilll give it a 5 star. Wife especially loves the Dakota alert she know knows when anyone is coming up drive. Cliff

The punch code unit (not sure about window alarms) has some flexibility. Meaning the sensors do not need to be perfectly line up next to each other. I have my sensor a little over 1/4 inch off. I mouned the punch code on my door using 3m command strips, so as to not drill into the door, then used double sided sticky tape for the magnetic sensor onto my door frame.

For me, it did interfere with NFC. I could not get any tags to read. I'm using the samsung flip cover back case.

Yes, you can absolutely see through the door while it's microwaving and the light is on. You can't really see inside when the light is off, so you do have to open the door in that case.

I am using a Nexus 6 and I learned it does interfere with the phone's NFC. I stuck the metal plate on the back lower portion of the phone, only place really.

Hi there, Excellent question Jay! Metal disrupts the signal between the NFC tags and your device. As a result, you're likely to get erratic behaviour from the tags if they're used in conjunction with any metal, including the metal on a phone case. Hope that helps! Justin WhizTags

Yes. You need a bit of room on either side of the closure (door/frame) for the metal plate. If there is wood-trim too close to the edge it will be slightly loose but still effective. The idea is to prevent casual entry, to make noise if tampered with, and to slow down a thief while the alarm is ringing. Most thieves want to be in and out in minutes and this adds another problem to their navigation.

Hi Elaine -- If your card has an RFID chip in it, it will have an extra shiny spot, usually with some sort of logo identifying the company. Almost all new cards now have them. and you can ask a store or bank to scan the card for you while it is still in its sleeve. If they can't read it, the sleeve works (that's what I did) Good luck! and happy holiday.......

I dont think same technology i doubt it. demags is technolory for something like that and newer technologies that use chips like rfids are not afectedThis magnet will bite you if not careful however. And will mess up credit cards if you get near. I use my magnets for holding thinks in place

Nfc resides on battery door cover. As long as u have the original door cover it's ok.

it might interfere. I have a dog grooming shop that I installed this on and a wall in between the sender and receiver prevented it from chiming.

Christen, I am not sure about this. The key that I placed in the safe is a "Valet" type key with no chip embedded. This just allows me to get into the vehicle when I have locked my keys inside. There may be information in your vehicle owners manual regarding care of the fob that would address magnets. I would also recommend adding a zip tie/ cord to secure the safe to a fixed point in the event that the magnet were to come loose. The magnet is very strong and this is unlikely.

No. It does not use RFID technology. The range to activate the connection is extremely close. In my experience it has to be within a few centimeters are the reception pad before it will activate the door lock.

I recently got this wallet as a christmas present from my girlfriend. I work at an Int'l bank and we have to use RFID scan-cards to go into my building for any doors we pass. I put my Key-card a few days ago to see if this unit works and the door scanners would not pick up on the RFID key card. I can't speak for scanning any credit cards since I don't have that tech to test it, but it seems very effective in RFID blocking.
