HID 20KNKS-00-000000 SIGNO 20K Mullion Reader with Keypad, 13.56 MHz & 125 kHz, OSDP/Wiegand, Pigtail, Mobile Ready
When door frame width is limited but you need full credential flexibility and keypad entry, a mullion reader that doesn't compromise on technology becomes critical. The HID SIGNO 20K mullion reader addresses high-security applications where space constraints meet demanding access control requirements—delivering multi-technology credential support, mobile access, and PIN entry in a narrow form factor designed for tight door jambs and restricted mounting surfaces.
Key Features
- Dual-frequency support reads both 13.56 MHz (iCLASS, MIFARE, DESFire) and 125 kHz (Prox) credentials for migration flexibility
- Integrated keypad enables PIN entry, two-factor authentication, and REX functionality without additional hardware
- Mobile-ready platform supports Seos and other mobile credential technologies for smartphone-based access
- OSDP and Wiegand output compatibility ensures integration with modern encrypted control systems and legacy panels
- Mullion form factor fits standard narrow door frames and tight architectural spaces
- Pigtail connection simplifies rough-in and replacement installations in existing infrastructure
- HID SIGNO platform provides firmware upgradeability for future credential technology support
- Tamper detection and environmental sealing protect reader integrity in interior and covered exterior applications
The SIGNO 20K addresses the common integrator challenge of deploying advanced access control in space-constrained locations—elevator lobbies, interior doors, and retrofit projects where mounting surface is limited. The dual-frequency architecture eliminates the need to run separate readers during credential migrations, while the integrated keypad consolidates hardware for two-factor deployments. Mobile credential support future-proofs the installation as clients transition from cards to smartphones, and OSDP connectivity ensures encrypted communication when paired with compatible controllers.
The pigtail termination accelerates installation in both new construction and retrofit scenarios, particularly where back-box access is restricted or wire management is challenging. For integrators managing mixed technology environments—supporting both legacy Prox systems and modern encrypted credentials—this reader provides a single hardware platform that reads across generations while maintaining the narrow profile required for mullion mounting applications.
