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 Orlando.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for Saflok properties in Orlando, migrating you off Saflok floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
Orlando's high-volume, high-turnover properties are revisiting their Saflok deployments after the March 2024 Unsaflok disclosure, which showed a single forged-keycard pair can open every room on affected Saflok lines. The honest reality is that a full fix means firmware or hardware on every lock plus reissuing all keycards and upgrading encoders, a property-wide project that has to thread the theme-park calendar's narrow cutover windows. Orlando's 92F heat and 74% humidity stress hardware and batteries, so if you are pulling every lock anyway, doing it once correctly matters. With roughly 2,398 rooms added in 2025 and Epic Universe bringing another 1,500, properties want issuance throughput and Wallreader-ready amenity access. Re-platforming to Salto while you are already remediating is a legitimate option worth pricing.
- Orlando's humid subtropical climate pushes average July highs to about 92F with year-round average humidity near 74%, sustained heat-and-moisture conditions that stress mechanical and electronic hardware.
- Universal Orlando added roughly 1,500 guest rooms in early 2025 (Stella Nova and Terra Luna resorts) plus the 500-room Universal Helios Grand Hotel opening in May 2025 alongside the Epic Universe park.
- Orlando was forecast to open about 13 new hotels with roughly 2,398 rooms in 2025, with construction running ahead of the national pace and led by the International Drive corridor.

What we plan for in Orlando
Central Florida's sustained heat and high humidity accelerate battery drain and can degrade gasketing and electronics on exterior and breezeway-facing locks, which is common across I-Drive and Lake Buena Vista resort layouts. RevKey specs weather-rated Salto hardware for exposed openings, sets conservative battery-replacement intervals in the maintenance plan, and validates seals during commissioning so outdoor-corridor doors are not the first to fail.
Disney, Universal, and the convention center corridor keep occupancy high year round, so full floor takedowns are rarely available and cutovers fall to off-peak overnight windows. RevKey sequences the install floor by floor and wing by wing with no closed floors, schedules core hardware swaps and credential cutover during low-traffic overnight blocks, and keeps the front desk able to issue working keys at every step.
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 Orlando 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 Orlando
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 Salto install take at a large Orlando resort?
Timelines scale with door count and the number of amenity and access points, not just guestrooms. A branded select-service property is typically a shorter engagement, while a 500-plus-key full-service resort with extensive amenity access runs longer and is staged in phases. Because Orlando properties rarely take rooms fully offline, we plan around your occupancy and theme-park-season calendar from the first scoping visit.
