HID ThinLine II 5395 — Slim Wall 125 kHz Proximity Reader for Architectural Profiles
The HID ThinLine II 5395 is the slim wall-mount 125 kHz proximity reader from HID Global’s Proximity line — supporting legacy HID Prox 125 kHz credentials in a low-profile form factor for clean architectural appearance. Standard Wiegand output, IP55-rated for indoor and protected outdoor positions.
The ThinLine II 5395 is the Chicago choice for standard-wall Prox replacement at architecturally-sensitive positions — office building lobbies with finish requirements, condo / HOA entries where the slimmest possible reader profile matters, hospitality lobbies, and any wall-mount Prox installation where the standard ProxPro reader looks too bulky.
When to Choose ThinLine II vs. Sibling Prox Readers
| Form factor | Model | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Compact mullion | ProxPoint Plus 6005 | Narrow frames, mullions |
| Standard wall (full-size) | ProxPro 5355 | Standard commercial doors |
| Slim wall (low-profile) | ThinLine II 5395 (this) | Architecturally-sensitive wall positions |
| Newer standard wall | ProxPro II 5455 | Newer-generation ProxPro replacement |
| Mini | MiniProx 5365 | Smallest compact Prox |
The ThinLine II 5395 is the right pick when wall-mount installation is needed AND profile / appearance matters.
Migration Path to Modern Credentials
When the project is ready to migrate from Prox to smart cards / mobile credentials, replace ThinLine II 5395 readers with:
- multiCLASS SE RP15 — single-gang mid-size form factor, reads BOTH Prox AND iCLASS SE / SEOS for phased migration
- HID Signo 40 — full multi-technology + HID Mobile Access + Apple Wallet
