HID 5365-371-04 MiniProx Reader Cover, Classic, White

It's the cover only, the classic-style white housing that goes over a MiniProx reader. No electronics, no antenna, no wiring. If you need a reader that actually reads credentials, order the reader itself. Buy this when the existing MiniProx still works but the face is cracked, faded, painted over, or the wrong color for the new mullion finish.

MiniProx units built on the 5365 and 5368 base part numbers, the 125 kHz mullion mount proximity readers. That is the family the classic cover is made for. Check the base part number printed on the unit you are replacing the face on before ordering, since the number on the label is what identifies it, not the wall plate around it.

The MiniProx footprint is 6.0 x 1.7 x 1.0 inches (15.2 cm x 4.3 cm x 1.91 cm), which is why it goes on a narrow aluminum mullion where a full-size prox reader won't sit flat. The classic cover is the face for that same footprint, so swapping it doesn't change the mounting hole pattern or the space you need on the stile.

No. The read range of up to 5.5 inches (14.0 cm) and the 5-16 VDC power requirement belong to the reader electronics inside, not to the housing. A new classic cover restores the appearance and protects the unit; it doesn't tune, boost, or reduce read performance. If cards are reading short, the problem is the reader, its mounting on metal, or the power supply, not the face.

Look at the SDC IPRW Series Wiegand proximity reader, which is built for 125 kHz HID compatibility. That is a complete reader with Wiegand output, so it replaces the whole unit rather than just the face. Go that route when the MiniProx itself has failed; keep the 5365-371-04 cover on the list only if the reader is still functional and you're refreshing the housing.

White, in the classic style. That's the single finish this part is built in, so it suits white or light-painted aluminum storefront mullions and interior door frames. Property managers standardizing a building's entries usually pick one cover color and stay with it across every opening so the readers all read as one system.

Yes, it's a commercial-duty part for electronic access control openings, not a residential accessory. Typical use is a storefront or interior mullion where a MiniProx has been mounted and the housing needs replacing after damage or repainting. Locksmiths and integrators carrying a few on the truck can close out a service call without pulling and re-terminating a working reader.
