Most Pyramid-equipped buildings settled on the standard 26-bit configuration because it made the credential universal: an H10301-programmed PSC-1 reads on the Pyramid readers it was bought for and on any other standard Wiegand 26-bit reader the facility adds later. The catch owners discover at reorder time is that OEM Pyramid stock traditionally moves through dealer channels — fine for integrators, slow for a property manager who just needs forty cards. Our unbranded 26-bit Pyramid-compatible credentials close that gap: programmed to your facility code and card-number range, matched to the clamshell, printable ISO, or fob form factor you issue, and verified against the H10301 structure before shipping. Existing OEM stock and compatible stock coexist on the same doors, because the panel only ever sees the numbers.

Which bit formats do Pyramid credentials support?
Ordered per project: standard 26-bit H10301 is the most common, the native 39-bit Pyramid layout appears on some deployments, and 37-bit H10304 or custom structures were available to integrators. Your panel's format configuration — or a working sample card — tells us which yours runs.
Will your Pyramid-compatible cards work on non-Pyramid readers?
When programmed in 26-bit H10301, yes — that layout is the industry's shared standard, so any conforming Wiegand reader passes it to the panel. Native 39-bit batches are specific to systems configured for that structure.
Why are Pyramid replacement cards hard to source at retail?
The Pyramid line is sold OEM-first, through panel manufacturers and their dealer networks, so end users rarely find shelf stock. Compatible-by-specification supply exists precisely for that situation — the credential is a programmed 125 kHz format, and we program it to your system's values directly.
What do you need to start a batch?
Facility code, card-number range, format confirmation (26-bit unless you know otherwise), and the form factors you issue. A photo of a current card front and back covers most of that in one step.
