HID 5365-371-03 MiniProx Reader Cover, Classic, Black

It is the cover only, in black. The electronics, mounting and wiring are not part of it, so if you need a working reader you need the MiniProx unit itself. Buy the 5365-371-03 when the existing reader still reads cards but the faceplate is cracked, faded or tagged.

It is the classic-style cover for the MiniProx family built on base part numbers 5365 and 5368, the 125 kHz mullion mount proximity readers. Check the label or the first four digits of the part number on the reader you have before ordering.

No, they are not interchangeable items. The HID 5365-371-03 is a black Classic cover for the MiniProx proximity reader, whose base part numbers are 5365 and 5368 - it is a housing component, not a working reader. The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, meaning it is a complete credential-reading device. If the reader electronics still function and only the faceplate is damaged or discolored, the 5365-371-03 cover is what you want. If the reader itself has failed or you are building a new opening from scratch, you need a full reader such as the IPRW Series rather than a cover.

Order a complete 125 kHz proximity reader rather than a cover. The 5365-371-03 supplies only the Classic black cover for the MiniProx, a mullion mount reader measuring 6.0 in x 1.7 in x 1.0 in, running on 5-16 VDC with a read range up to 5.5 in. A complete replacement device on the same 125 kHz technology is the SDC IPRW Series, a Wiegand proximity reader listed as HID compatible, so existing 125 kHz credentials carried by your tenants or staff continue to work. Note the IPRW is a separate device with its own form factor, so verify your mullion width and existing wire run before committing.

The MiniProx body measures 6.0 x 1.7 x 1.0 inches (15.2 cm x 4.3 cm x 1.91 cm), which is why it is sold as a mullion mount reader. At 1.7 inches across it sits on the narrow face of an aluminum storefront mullion without overhanging the glass stop. The classic black cover in part 5365-371-03 matches that footprint.

No. Read range on the MiniProx is up to 5.5 inches (14.0 cm) and the reader runs on 5-16 VDC, and neither is affected by replacing the outer cover. It is a cosmetic and protective swap at the door, not an electrical one, so the Wiegand run back to the panel stays untouched.

Yes, if the readers are MiniProx units on the 5365 or 5368 base part numbers. Ordering the classic black cover across those openings gives you one consistent face without pulling any reader off the mullion or touching the access control head end. Readers from other families or other brands will not take this cover.

If the electronics are gone, a cover will not help you. For a 125 kHz proximity reader with Wiegand output, the SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader listed as 125 kHz HID compatible, so it will talk to the same panel input your MiniProx was wired to. Confirm your credentials are 125 kHz prox and not 13.56 MHz smart cards before you swap.

No. HID compatibility on a third-party device such as the SDC IPRW Series refers to the reader working with 125 kHz HID credentials and outputting Wiegand data to a controller - it describes electronic credential support, not physical parts interchange. The HID 5365-371-03 is a mechanical cover for the MiniProx reader body, part numbers 5365 and 5368. A cover from one manufacturer will not fit another manufacturer's reader housing, so a MiniProx cover should only be ordered against a MiniProx reader.

It is a commercial-duty access control part, intended for MiniProx readers on commercial and institutional openings rather than residential use. Typical placement is exterior or interior storefront mullions, stairwells and tenant entries where the reader face takes abuse.
