Classic VingCard is winding down while ASSA ABLOY moves customers toward Vostio. You have a clean platform option, too.
Replace VingCard locks in Denver.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for VingCard properties in Denver, migrating you off VingCard floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
In Denver, a Classic VingCard estate is usually a modernization candidate rather than an emergency. ASSA ABLOY is moving the market toward its Vostio cloud platform and building newer hardware cloud-first, so Classic VingCard reads as a Vostio-compatible bridge to wallet-ready access. With a $233M Colorado Convention Center expansion and Virgin Hotels Denver adding 241 rooms, the local factors are convention-calendar blackout windows and high-altitude battery behavior worth planning around. Operators can upgrade in-family to Vostio cloud or switch to Salto Space, which also supports native Apple Wallet keys; this page is the Salto route.
- The Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver completed a $233 million expansion (the Bluebird Ballroom and rooftop terrace) in 2023, bringing the venue to roughly 735,000 square feet and helping it book large multi-day events that drive concentrated downtown occupancy windows.
- Denver's hotel pipeline includes named openings such as the 241-room Virgin Hotels Denver at the Fox North complex targeting a 2026 opening, part of an active boutique and select-service build-out as of 2025.

What we plan for in Denver
Downtown convention and LoDo properties run at high occupancy around the Colorado Convention Center schedule, which leaves narrow windows for guest-floor work. RevKey sequences installs around the booking calendar and works floor by floor so no block of rooms is taken offline during a citywide, with legacy keycards staying live until each door is cut over.
Denver's mile-high elevation and the higher mountain-corridor builds have a marginal effect on battery life and performance on some early-generation lock hardware. RevKey accounts for this in the migration plan, standardizing on current Salto battery specs and validating door-level power behavior during commissioning rather than assuming legacy runtimes carry over.
The VingCard migration, in brief
VingCard line owned by ASSA ABLOY. Classic VingCard hardware is largely legacy; the modern path is ASSA ABLOY's Vostio and Visionline management platforms running current VingCard locks.

How a Denver 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 VingCard migrations in Denver
Should I move to ASSA ABLOY Vostio or to Salto?
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.
Is my Classic VingCard hardware compatible with a Salto retrofit?
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.
Do I have to replace 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.
How long does a VingCard migration take?
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.
What do residents or guests use instead of a keycard?
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.
Can you cut our downtown hotel over to Salto without closing floors during convention season?
Yes. We run a phased, floor-by-floor migration with the existing keycard system live until each door is commissioned, so no block of rooms goes offline. For convention-heavy LoDo and downtown properties we sequence the work around your booking calendar and citywide dates to avoid touching occupied inventory.
