HID MiniProx 5365 — Smallest 125 kHz Proximity Reader in the HID Lineup
The HID MiniProx 5365 is the smallest 125 kHz proximity reader in HID Global’s Proximity line — supporting legacy HID Prox credentials in an ultra-compact form factor for the most space-constrained installations. Wiegand output, IP55-rated for indoor and protected outdoor positions.
The MiniProx 5365 is the Chicago choice for replacement at the smallest possible installation positions — elevator cab panels with ultra-narrow space, equipment-controller positions, vehicle-side entries, pedestrian gate readers, HOA narrow access points where the ProxPoint Plus 6005 is too large, and any installation where the smallest possible reader profile is required.
When to Choose MiniProx vs. Other Prox Readers
| Form factor | Model | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-compact (smallest) | MiniProx 5365 (this) | Smallest spaces, equipment controllers, ultra-narrow |
| Compact mullion | ProxPoint Plus 6005 | Narrow door frames, mullions |
| Standard wall (full-size) | ProxPro 5355 | Standard commercial doors |
| Slim wall | ThinLine II 5395 | Low-profile architectural |
| Newer standard wall | ProxPro II 5455 | Newer-generation replacement |
Where the MiniProx 5365 Wins in Chicago
- Smallest-possible Prox replacement at Chicago commercial properties
