Ambiance is current dormakaba software, but it is named in the 2024 Unsaflok and 2025 Saflok advisories. The real question is whether your fleet has actually been remediated.
Phased Salto installs, brand-standard mobile keys, four-hour response. Veteran-owned.
What sold us was how clearly the project was scoped before anyone touched a door. The migration off our old dormakaba hardware stayed on schedule and the staff training stuck.Operations Manager, extended-stay property, Midwest
The cutover sequence we run on most dormakaba Ambiance retrofits. Each step is sized to your property scale during scoping, never bigger than your operations can absorb.
We walk the property or review your survey worksheet, confirm door prep, brand-standard mobile-key requirements, and the credentialing target. You get a real scoped quote back, not a placeholder.
Once the scope is right and ownership signs off, the deposit goes in and the materials order is placed. This is where the procurement clock starts, not when install begins.
Salto XS Express SKUs ship in weeks. Most of the configurations we order are custom built in Spain and can take months. We tell you which mix your scope falls into the day we quote it, and we update you when arrival is dated.
When the material arrival date is locked, we schedule the crew and the training team together. Most properties get two or three weeks of advance notice so you can plan staffing, brand standard coordination, and PMS cutover windows.
Both teams land on the same day. Training and system setup start with your front desk and housekeeping leads while the install crew unpacks and stages the first floor.
We install one door for your GM or owner to inspect before we touch the rest of the property. You sign off on the finish, the credential behavior, and the look against your brand standard. Nothing else gets installed until that approval lands.
We work room to room at five to ten minutes per door, longer if a door needs to be fully mortised. Typical pace is thirty to forty doors per day. No overnight shifts, no full floor takedowns.
While the install crew progresses through the doors, the training team finishes system configuration, PMS integration, and hands-on training for front desk, housekeeping, and engineering. This typically wraps over the first three days.
After training wraps the training crew leaves site. Your installer keeps the door-by-door rhythm until the last room is converted. You always have a named RevKey contact reachable by email during this window.
Walkthrough on every floor, punch-list resolution, and the start of a fixed-window post-install support period. Email response within four business hours through that window.
RevKey is veteran-owned and a Certified Salto Partner. We do not split attention across four brands or sell hardware out of a catalog. In the Salto model your support comes from the partner you pick, and ours is US-based, with a four-hour reply and a named contact.
Salto runs data-on-card, so locks keep working fully offline with no hardwiring; one platform spans guest doors, common areas, cylinders, and wall readers; and it uses modern encrypted DESFire credentials instead of the legacy formats the incumbent advisories exploit.
Ambiance is current and supported, so this is not about end-of-life. But it is named in the 2024 Unsaflok and May 2025 Saflok advisories, and only about 36 percent of affected locks were remediated as of early 2024, with no way to tell by looking. If you are confident your locks, cards, and encoders are fully remediated and your support is good, staying is a reasonable call. If you are not sure, or you are opening every door to remediate anyway, that is the moment to price a single-platform move to Salto.

Fits most Ambiance door prep on retrofit; the Wide Body trim covers existing cutouts. Full credential stack and brand mobile-key support.
Smaller, discreet escutcheon running the same credential stack.
Premium finishes pair well with the design-conscious properties that originally chose Ambiance.
Honest ranges, scoping plus phased install. Actual timelines depend on access windows, brand-standard compliance review, and procurement cycle.
You may not need to. Ambiance is current and supported, so this is not about end-of-life. It is, though, named in the 2024 Unsaflok and May 2025 Saflok advisories, so the first question is whether your locks, cards, and encoders are fully remediated. If they are and your support is good, staying is a reasonable call. Operators move to Salto when they are consolidating several properties on one stack, when a brand is pushing Salto-specific certifications, when the dealer relationship has not worked, or when they would rather land on a modern platform while every door is already open to remediate.
On most installs, yes. Salto XS4 One is ANSI mortise compatible with Ambiance door prep, so the swap stays at the door. We confirm prep type door by door during scoping.
One credential platform, one set of integrations, and one accountable installer across the portfolio, instead of a different stack and dealer per property. For multi-property owners standardizing operations, that consolidation is usually the main driver.
No. We install door by door during normal operating hours, typically thirty to forty doors per day, with a first-door sign-off before mass install. Larger properties run phased over weeks against your access windows.
Yes. Salto installs to brand mobile-key spec and integrates directly with the major hotel PMS platforms. We validate brand compliance as part of the install.
