Lockwood Cortex Spare Access Cards - Pack of 5, Satin Chrome
The Lockwood Cortex CTXCARD-05 is a pack of five genuine Lockwood Cortex RFID access cards in the standard Satin Chrome finish that matches the Cortex lockset hardware. These are replacement or additional user credentials for Lockwood Cortex digital lockset installations - used to expand user capacity or replace lost, damaged, or decommissioned cards without resetting or re-programming the whole system.
Each Cortex lockset ships with 2 cards included and supports up to 40 enrolled cards in total, so a single pack lets a site manager or installer add up to five more users. The cards are read by the Cortex reader at a range of under 2 cm and carry no battery of their own. They must be enrolled into the Cortex system before use - they are not pre-programmed.

Key Features
- Genuine Lockwood Cortex access cards - not aftermarket.
- Pack of 5 cards in Satin Chrome - the standard finish that matches the Cortex lockset hardware.
- Compatible with all three Lockwood Cortex lockset models: CTX530, CTX3772, and CTX5782.
- Read by the Cortex reader, which supports both iClass and Mifare card formats at a read range of under 2 cm.
- Up to 40 cards can be enrolled per lockset (each lockset ships with 2, leaving room for up to 38 more).
- Individual cards can be added or deleted using the Master Code without affecting any other enrolled user.
- No battery - the card is passive and draws no power.
- Also available in Red for colour-coding user groups or access zones - function is identical across both colours.
- Cards must be enrolled via the standard Cortex programming procedure before use - they are not pre-programmed.
An RFID card is a passive credential - it holds a unique ID, carries no battery, and is presented to the reader rather than typed like a PIN. Because each card is enrolled individually, a lost or stolen card can be revoked on its own without re-issuing everyone else's. For a plain-English walk-through of RFID versus PIN, fingerprint, and the other access methods, see the RFID card / key fob section of our Smart Lock Access Methods guide.
Compatible Lockwood Cortex Locksets
These cards are enrolled into and used with any of the Lockwood Cortex digital locksets below. The card is the same across all three - the locksets differ in their lock type, backset, and fire rating.
Compatibility is confirmed for the Lockwood Cortex range only. These cards are not confirmed for use with other brands' access control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Each card must be enrolled at the lockset before it will grant access - a card is added (or later deleted) using the Master Code, following the standard Cortex procedure set out in the operating instructions supplied with the lockset.
Each Cortex lockset supports up to 40 enrolled cards in total. Since each lockset ships with 2 cards included, there is capacity for up to 38 additional cards.
Yes. An individual card user can be added or deleted using the Master Code without disturbing any other enrolled user - useful when a single card is lost or a user leaves.
Only the colour. Satin Chrome (this product) is the standard finish that matches the lockset hardware; Red is used where a site wants to distinguish one user group or zone from another. Both are enrolled and behave identically at the reader.
Additional Information
Cortex spare cards come in Satin Chrome (this product) and Red. Satin Chrome is the standard finish that matches the lockset hardware; Red is commonly used on sites that colour-code credentials by user type or access zone - for example master users versus standard users. The card colour has no effect on function or programming.
If a card goes missing it can be deleted from the Cortex system on its own, using its assigned user ID and the Master Code. No other enrolled card is affected, so there is no need to re-issue credentials to the rest of the site.
Cortex spare cards are supplied in packs of 5 (this product, CTXCARD-05) and packs of 10 (CTXCARD-10). This listing is the 5-card Satin Chrome pack. Contact us if you need the 10-card pack or larger quantities.
