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 Miami.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for dormakaba Ambiance properties in Miami, migrating you off dormakaba Ambiance floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
Most Miami properties don't look at Salto because their dormakaba Ambiance hardware is failing; they look because the March 2024 Unsaflok disclosure named Ambiance among the affected Saflok management systems, and remediating means firmware or hardware changes plus reissuing every keycard and upgrading encoders. If you're already touching every door across Brickell and Miami Beach to remediate, re-platforming to Salto becomes a legitimate option rather than a second disruption. With Miami's international guest base raising mobile-key expectations, consolidating onto a single Salto stack lets you fold in native Apple Wallet keys instead of patching back to where you started. Against a development pipeline of roughly 98 hotels and 20,000 rooms, standardizing one platform now is a portfolio decision, not an emergency. Ambiance remains current-generation; this is simply about where the estate goes next.
- Miami-Dade's hotel development pipeline included roughly 98 hotels totaling about 20,172 rooms as of 2025, an amount that would add close to 30% to the county's existing room supply.
- Miami's hotel market splits into distinct submarkets including Miami Beach, Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, Coconut Grove and the airport corridor, each functioning as its own micro-market under City of Miami zoning overlays.

What we plan for in Miami
Beachfront and barrier-island properties see accelerated wear on lock hardware and exposed electronics. We spec corrosion-resistant finishes and seal exterior-facing readers so the fleet holds up in salt air rather than failing early.
Miami's high share of international travelers pushes mobile-credential adoption earlier than US-only markets. We prioritize BLE, NFC, and Apple Wallet support and validate key delivery across guest devices before go-live.
The dormakaba Ambiance migration, in brief
Ambiance is dormakaba's current access-management platform running Saflok locks. It is named in both the 2024 Unsaflok and the May 2025 Saflok Codebase advisories. Manufacturer-recommended action: confirm remediation, or switch platforms.
Fits most Ambiance door prep on retrofit; the Wide Body trim covers existing cutouts. Full credential stack and brand mobile-key support.

How a Miami project runs
The same disciplined sequence on every property, scaled to your door count.
Site assessment and door-by-door survey
We walk the property (or review your survey worksheet), confirm door prep and brand requirements, and identify what each opening needs. No guesswork before the quote.
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 Miami
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 does Miami's salt air affect a Salto install?
On beachfront and barrier-island properties we spec corrosion-resistant finishes and seal exterior-facing readers so the fleet holds up in salt air rather than failing early. We scope corrosion resistance explicitly for Miami rather than treating it as an afterthought.
