Hey guys. New to door access "kinda". We have installed a few and primarily have been Kantech. Having issues with our own in house readers. They don't seem to read unless we put the fob right on it and sometime even then they don't read it. I have to rub it up and down completely flat onto the reader. The reader is mounted on frame on morton bldg. I am wondering if there is a interference with type of metal or the fact that there is a metal trim on the side of the reader as well. We had issues with the old school wiegand readers also. We had to put rubber behind the reader to get it to read at all.
Have any you guys run into issues with new iosmart readers whether it was kantech or HID have read distance almost non existent.
Do you have any recommendations how to fix or help with read distances on metal bldg?
