The very first keycard

Our story begins in 1974 when lock maker Tor Sørnes hears about a woman attacked by an intruder in her hotel room. The story inspires him to invent a better door opening system. The goal is to make hotel guests and travellers feel safe no matter where they are staying. Two years later, Sørnes introduces VingCard, the world’s first recordable keycard door lock. At the same time, Bjørn Lyng, constructs the world’s first electronic in-room safe, Elsafe. The two join forces in 1994 to in order to better serve their customers and grow the company.

In 2018, National Geographic highlighted seven incredible inventions that changed the way we travel, and our iconic VingCard made the list. This is just one of the many industry-defining solutions we've developed over our decades in the hospitality space.
