Classic VingCard is winding down while ASSA ABLOY moves customers toward Vostio. You have a clean platform option, too.
Phased Salto installs, brand-standard mobile keys, four-hour response. Veteran-owned.
Our VingCard system had reached end of support and parts were getting hard to find. Moving to Salto gave us locks we can actually manage ourselves, and the install crew left every door tested and documented.General Manager, select-service hotel, Mountain West
The cutover sequence we run on most VingCard 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.
Classic VingCard hardware is increasingly legacy, with ASSA ABLOY steering toward Vostio. Scoping a move now, whether to Vostio in-family or to Salto, means you pick the platform on the merits rather than replacing reactively when parts or support tighten.

Each option below is a Salto product line we install as a VingCard replacement. Click into the line for full specs.
Wide Body trim covers existing VingCard door prep on retrofit. Modern credential stack and brand mobile-key support.
Smaller, discreet escutcheon running the same credential stack.
Lower per-door cost, same credential capabilities.
Honest ranges, scoping plus phased install. Actual timelines depend on access windows, brand-standard compliance review, and procurement cycle.
Both are legitimate. Vostio is the in-family upgrade from Classic VingCard and is the easier move if you have a strong ASSA ABLOY relationship and want minimum operational change. Salto tends to be the stronger choice if you value mobile-key depth, broad PMS integration, and a single accountable installer. We are glad to scope either; this page covers the Salto path.
In most cases, yes. Salto XS4 One is ANSI mortise compatible and replaces Classic VingCard hardware at the door without changing the prep. We confirm prep type door by door during scoping.
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.
Scoping plus phased install runs roughly 3 to 5 weeks under 100 doors and 6 to 10 weeks for 100 to 250 doors, with larger properties phased over longer windows. Materials procurement is dated for you when we quote.
Modern BLE and NFC mobile credentials, including Apple Wallet, with PIN-pad or physical-card fallback for guests and contractors. One credential system spans guest rooms and amenity access.
