The 2024 Unsaflok advisory affects Saflok MT, Quantum, RT, Saffire, and Confidant locks. There is a clear, planned path off it, on your schedule.
Phased Salto installs, brand-standard mobile keys, four-hour response. Veteran-owned.
We dreaded ripping out our Saflok locks, but the cutover was planned room by room and our front desk barely felt it. Guests kept checking in the whole time, and the team had mobile keys working the day we went live.Director of Engineering, full-service hotel, Southeast
The cutover sequence we run on most Saflok 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.
The 2024 Unsaflok advisory recommends a software update or replacement across the affected Saflok lines, plus reissuing every keycard and upgrading encoders. Properties that scope the move now control the timeline and budget instead of reacting later. If your locks are already in dormakaba's remediation program we will tell you honestly when finishing that in family is the smarter call.

Each option below is a Salto product line we install as a Saflok replacement. Click into the line for full specs.
The Wide Body trim covers the existing Saflok door prep, so most doors take the new lock without new millwork. Runs modern encrypted MIFARE DESFire credentials, closing the MIFARE Classic exposure the advisory exploits.
Smaller, discreet escutcheon running the same credential stack.
Lower per-door cost without giving up modern credentials.
Premium aesthetic with the same security profile as the XS4 line.
Honest ranges, scoping plus phased install. Actual timelines depend on access windows, brand-standard compliance review, and procurement cycle.
Either can be valid. The 2024 Unsaflok advisory affects the Saflok MT, Quantum, RT, Saffire, and Confidant lines, and dormakaba's fix is a software update or replacement on every affected lock, plus reissuing all keycards and upgrading encoders. If your fleet is already in dormakaba's remediation program, finishing it in family is a legitimate path. We will tell you honestly which makes sense before you commit to anything.
On most Saflok MT installs, Salto XS4 One drops into the existing ANSI mortise prep, so the door itself does not change. You move from the MIFARE Classic credentials the advisory forges to modern encrypted DESFire with BLE, NFC, and Apple Wallet mobile keys, so that exposure goes away entirely.
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.
Scoping plus phased install runs roughly 3 to 5 weeks under 100 doors, 6 to 10 weeks for 100 to 250 doors, and longer for larger phased properties. Actual timing depends on access windows, brand-standard review, and materials procurement, which we date for you when we quote.
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, not as an afterthought.
