At T2, a plain white card is given upon entry to the main Lufthansa Lounge, to those who are eligible. You then walk upto a pair of white frosted glass doors, tap the card, and the doors open.
It is actually quite a classy setup, and BA could implement something similar quite easily. It looks nice, it's easy, and the info is all held on a Boarding Pass - although a CCR card with a chip inside would be fun.

Upon leaving the Senator Lounge, you drop the card into a chrome card-bin, and you then wander off to the gate.
