room keys
Door-opening cards
Room keys are the keys or key cards that unlock guest rooms in hotels, motels, and similar accommodations.
Traditional metal keys have largely been replaced by plastic magnetic stripe cards or RFID cards that guests tap or insert into door locks.
Losing your room key typically means a trip to the front desk for a replacement.
