SentriCard® Utility Online Guide

Your SentriCard contains authorization data that allows you to access lockbox key compartments. It moves important data between lockboxes and the SentriLock server. And importantly, by using the SentriCard® Utility and a SentriCard® Reader to renew your SentriCard®, the access information on your card can be kept up to date.

When you insert a SentriCard® into a lockbox, make sure the gold chip is face-up and goes into the lockbox first (just like the chip on a credit card). By design, the card will go in only about halfway.
