LF NFC locks with keypad

Are these unlockable with normal nfc commands on the ios nfc tools or do I need to write my own? I dont want to learn how to write hexdecimal code tbh it seems so difficult.

I’m having trouble understanding your question.

What NFC lock are you looking into, or are you looking at an implant?

NFCTools (to my knowledge) generally can’t unlock door locks.

oh sorry i forgot to mention the implant i have, i got an xNT in my hand. thinking about buying a flipper zero to see if i can code it on to the chip with that but idk if it will work and theyre expensive. Im not sure what model the lock is, but when i use the diagnostic card on it the LF light comes on but none of the others. from what ive read the xNT is a LF chip so im hoping i can enter the door code into it and unlock it that way

Your phone doesn’t have LF RFID capability. You’ll need a proxmark or a flipper if you want to clone a card. Alternatively you can try enrolling your existing implant into the lock

The xNT is a high frequently implant.
LF is 125khz
HF is 13.56mhz

It isn’t compatible with a LF lock. You’ll need a different lock or a different implant.

Note that there are no repeater stickers (MFGC) for LF, you might get better performance with a HF lock and a MFGC

NOOOOO this is tragic i thought someone on a page here said it was LF at least this way can i interact with phones?

Yeah, you can use your phone to interact with it.

I would argue that this is not tragic.

HF locks are more common these days and there are more cheap options. Check out the xAC if you want to wire into your own solution.

Do you have an existing, working, card/fob/thinggy for the lock- or do you need to enter a code and were looking to automate the code entry (for example your door unlock code is 7381 and you wanted a card that would enter 7381 when scanned)?

the latter

I think I got where things got crossed up. I think you got the functionality of the DT keyboard confused with any old generic lock keypad. I can’t claim that I know how anything works, but this is the internet so here we go. On my LF lock I believe what happens is you enroll a key, lets say FA:FF:FF:FF as key 601. Then you scan, it reads FA:FF:FF:FF, looks it up on the list, finds the ID and says yep 601 is authorized- unlock & log. Alternatively with my lock you can program an unlock code, lets say 8675309 and it will save that as key 602. You can then type that number in. It looks it up and finds it and syas yep 602 is authorized- unlock & log. But you can’t scan something that is 8675309 and have it work.
