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 Miami.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for Saflok properties in Miami, migrating you off Saflok floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
Miami's hotel estate skews heavily toward legacy Saflok, and the March 2024 Unsaflok disclosure (a forged-keycard chain that can open every room on affected MT, Quantum, RT, Saffire, and Confidant lines) is exactly why so many waterfront properties are searching to move now. Remediating means touching every lock to update firmware or swap hardware, reissue all keycards, and upgrade encoders anyway. With Miami's salt air and humidity already driving corrosion at coastal openings, the smart move is to do the corrosion-resistant re-platform while every door is open rather than patch and revisit later. Add a development pipeline of roughly 98 hotels and 20,000 rooms competing for international guests, and native Apple Wallet room keys on Salto Space become a real differentiator. If you are opening every lock to remediate, re-platforming to Salto is a legitimate option.
- Coastal Miami combines salt-laden ocean air with humidity that frequently exceeds 80%, conditions that form a conductive electrolyte film on exposed metal and accelerate the electrochemical corrosion of hardware compared with dry inland sites.
- 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.

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 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 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 Saflok migrations in Miami
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 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.
