The 2024 Unsaflok advisory affects Saflok MT, Quantum, RT, Saffire, and Confidant locks. There is a clear, planned path off it, on your schedule.
Replace Saflok locks in Anaheim.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for Saflok properties in Anaheim, migrating you off Saflok floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
Anaheim properties running Saflok are weighing a move after the March 2024 Unsaflok disclosure detailed a forged-keycard chain affecting the MT, Quantum, RT, Saffire, and Confidant lines. Because a full fix means touching every lock, reissuing all keycards, and upgrading encoders, the Disneyland calendar compresses the install windows and California prevailing-wage and permit norms shape the labor plan. Family demographics make PIN fallback a practical requirement in the access design. With the 1.8-million-square-foot Anaheim Convention Center anchoring the West Coast and the Platinum Triangle's 820-acre redevelopment reshaping the area, the legacy keycard migration is timely. If you are opening every lock to remediate, re-platforming to Salto is a legitimate option.
- The Anaheim Convention Center is the largest convention center on the U.S. West Coast, with about 1.8 million total square feet and over 800,000 square feet of exhibition space, driving large recurring event-occupancy windows.
- Anaheim's adjacent 820-acre Platinum Triangle, anchored by Honda Center and Angel Stadium, is an active large-scale redevelopment area that adds event-driven lodging demand near the resort core.
- Under California law, public-works projects over $1,000 require state-determined prevailing wages (typically based on collective-bargaining rates), a budgeting factor for any publicly funded hospitality-adjacent work.

What we plan for in Anaheim
Anaheim hotels around the resort run high occupancy year-round, and the Disneyland event and holiday calendar leaves few low-demand nights for hardware cutover. RevKey sequences installs floor by floor and wing by wing so no block of rooms goes offline at once, scheduling the heaviest work against each property's own softest dates rather than a generic shoulder season.
The Anaheim guest base skews heavily toward family travel, where a single reservation often covers parents and children who may not all carry a compatible smartphone for mobile keys. RevKey specifies Salto locks with keypad or card fallback at the door so front desks can issue credentials to every guest, and configures mobile keys as an option rather than the only path in.
The Saflok migration, in brief
2024 Unsaflok advisory affects Saflok MT, Quantum, RT, Saffire, and Confidant locks. Manufacturer-recommended action: software update or replacement, plus reissuing all keycards.
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.

How a Anaheim 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 Saflok migrations in Anaheim
Do I have to replace my Saflok locks, or can I upgrade them?
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.
What does a Saflok-to-Salto migration actually change at the door?
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.
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.
How long does a Saflok migration take?
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.
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, not as an afterthought.
How long does a full Salto conversion take for an Anaheim hotel?
Timelines depend on door count and how aggressively rooms can come offline. A branded select-service property typically runs a few days to a couple of weeks, while a larger resort or convention property is phased over several weeks. Because Anaheim occupancy stays high around the resort, RevKey works floor by floor with no closed floors so the property keeps selling rooms throughout.
