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.
Replace dormakaba Ambiance locks in Atlanta.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for dormakaba Ambiance properties in Atlanta, migrating you off dormakaba Ambiance floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
An Atlanta Ambiance property typically considers Salto when franchisee brand standards and the Unsaflok disclosure converge, since the disclosure named Ambiance among the affected Saflok management systems and put unpatched estates in line for a disruptive remediation. Reissuing every keycard and upgrading encoders has to fit a Georgia World Congress Center calendar that compresses cutover windows and an airport corridor that runs without overnight lulls. With Atlanta holding the second-largest US pipeline at 160 projects and 18,239 rooms, plus 33 renovations and conversions, operators standardizing brand spec would rather re-platform to Salto than patch a legacy system back into place. Ambiance remains current-generation; this is a brand-fit and consolidation decision.
- As of Q3 2025 Atlanta held the second-largest U.S. hotel construction pipeline with 160 projects totaling 18,239 rooms.
- As of Q3 2025 Atlanta also had 33 renovation and conversion projects covering 3,988 rooms, signaling heavy reinvestment in existing hotel stock.

What we plan for in Atlanta
Atlanta's downtown and Midtown convention business keeps house counts high around major shows at the Georgia World Congress Center, leaving narrow windows for floor-by-floor lock changeovers. RevKey schedules Salto cutovers around the property's booking calendar and works in phased blocks so no guest floors are closed and front-desk operations keep running on the legacy system until each block is live.
Atlanta's ownership base is heavily franchised across branded select-service flags, and brand standards on mobile key and reader appearance are strictly enforced. RevKey confirms the Salto configuration and mobile-key approach against the specific flag's current standard before ordering hardware, so the installed system passes brand inspection the first time.

Scope and migration plan
A real scoped quote: hardware, credential plan, PMS integration, and a phased schedule built around your occupancy, not a placeholder estimate.
Phased install
Floor-by-floor cutover coordinated with housekeeping, so rooms stay sellable. No property-wide shutdown.
PMS and mobile-key validation
PMS integration and brand mobile keys configured and tested before guests touch them, so the front desk is live on day one.
Train and support
Front-desk training and a fixed post-install support window so the team is confident before we hand off.
Common questions about dormakaba Ambiance migrations in Atlanta
Ambiance is current-generation. Why would I move to Salto?
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.
Can Salto reuse my existing Ambiance door prep?
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.
What does consolidating multiple properties on Salto get me?
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.
Do I have to convert every door at once?
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.
Will Salto meet my brand mobile-key standard?
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.
How long does a Salto rollout take for an Atlanta select-service hotel?
For a typical branded select-service property in the two-hundred to three-hundred door band, plan on roughly one to two weeks on site, depending on door count and access conditions. We work in phased blocks rather than closing floors, so guest rooms stay sellable throughout. The exact window is set around your convention and group-booking calendar.
