Why this model

Match the blank to the write routine

The RW1990 name alone does not establish which write procedure a supplied blank needs. Record its version, duplicator model and firmware, then test writing, read-back and controller acceptance separately. A successful write does not prove that a door controller will accept the key. Confirm the site protocol and rules before choosing a rewritable blank; request version-specific endurance information if repeated rewriting is part of the job.

Key features

  • Programmable, rewritable ID — confirm the supplied blank version and its supported write procedure with your writer model and firmware.
  • For DS1990A duplication services — sample-test writing and target-controller acceptance before bulk purchase.
  • Request the version-specific write-endurance specification and housing drawing; confirm fob, colour and packing options in the quotation.
  • Use the quoted version and approved sample as the order reference; a similar market name does not establish the same chip or write procedure.

Which blank does your duplicator write?

Blanks differ less in the finished key than in how the copier writes them. Protocol names follow the routines used in mainstream and open-source duplicator firmware — check the blank list in your machine's manual before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Can I test RW1990 samples before buying in bulk?

10 free sample pieces, ready in 3 days; you pay sample shipping. 500 pieces are usually ready in 1 week. Transit time is additional. Reference price includes a plastic handle. Tell us your delivery country and postcode to request sample shipping costs.

How many times can an RW1990 be rewritten?

RW1990 is offered as a rewritable-ID blank. A verified write-cycle rating for the supplied version is not currently published here. Confirm the version and write procedure in the supply documentation, then test writing, read-back and target-controller acceptance with the intended duplicator and firmware before a bulk order.

Is RW1990 the same as TM1990B or TM2008?

Do not treat these names as proof of the same supplied product or write procedure. Ask for the exact version and its documentation, check support in the duplicator model and firmware, and validate samples in the target system before substituting one blank for another.

Which duplicators program the RW1990?

No tested duplicator list is currently published here. Send the duplicator model, firmware version and target reader/controller details so they can be checked against the supplied blank version. A menu label such as RW1990.1 or RW1990.2 alone is insufficient: validate writing, read-back and controller acceptance with samples.
