Schlage MTB15 Smart Card Reader 125khz 13.56mhz

Product Description

The SCHLAGE MTB15 is a multi-technology smart card reader designed for single-door access control applications. It reads both 125kHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz contactless smart cards, and also supports mobile credentials, giving installers and security integrators flexibility to serve facilities with mixed or transitioning card populations. The reader is finished in black and ships as a single unit. It fits into commercial and light-industrial access control systems where credential versatility and a clean form factor are required.

The MTB15 is suited for commercial buildings, office suites, and institutional facilities that need to support legacy 125kHz proximity cards alongside modern 13.56MHz smart card technology. Mobile credential support makes it a practical choice for sites moving toward smartphone-based access. A licensed security integrator or low-voltage electrician typically handles installation as part of a broader access control deployment.
