Classic VingCard is winding down while ASSA ABLOY moves customers toward Vostio. You have a clean platform option, too.
Replace VingCard locks in Los Angeles.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for VingCard properties in Los Angeles, migrating you off VingCard floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
A Los Angeles hotel on Classic VingCard is generally modernizing toward mobile key, not chasing a vulnerability. ASSA ABLOY is steering the market to its Vostio cloud platform and building newer hardware cloud-first, which casts Classic VingCard as a Vostio-compatible upgrade bridge. Across a market of 1,000-plus properties and 90,000-plus rooms, with roughly 105 projects tied to the 2028 Olympics pipeline, the local wrinkles are seismic frames that change mortise scope and entertainment-guest expectations for premium finishes. The honest decision is Vostio cloud in-family or a platform switch to Salto Space, which also supports native Apple Wallet keys; this page follows the Salto path.
- Greater Los Angeles had roughly 105 hotel projects in development as of 2025, with about 2,600 rooms expected to open before the 2028 Olympics and around 2,100 rooms across 18 hotels already under construction.
- The Los Angeles hotel sector spans more than 1,000 properties and roughly 90,000-plus guest rooms across a geographically sprawling metro, one of the largest and most fragmented hotel markets in the U.S.

What we plan for in Los Angeles
Los Angeles door assemblies often sit in earthquake-rated frames, and seismic retrofit work can shift or distort openings in ways that complicate mortise lock swaps. RevKey surveys each frame and strike condition before mobilizing, so cylindrical, mortise, and electronic deadbolt selections match the actual prepped openings rather than assumed templates. Where a retrofit has already altered a frame, we coordinate the access-control cutover to follow the structural work instead of fighting it.
LA luxury and boutique properties serving production and entertainment travel hold their hardware to a high visual standard, and a Salto upgrade has to read as an amenity, not a maintenance item. RevKey specifies Salto trim, finish, and reader styles that match the design intent of luxury, boutique, and convention environments. We review finish samples with property design or ownership before ordering so guest-facing hardware lands cleanly.
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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles
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.
How long does a Salto rollout take for a Los Angeles hotel?
Timelines depend on door count and how spread out the property is, but most single buildings fall into a multi-day to multi-week range once hardware is on site. Larger or multi-site LA portfolios run longer because our deployed crew has to move between Downtown, the Westside, and the LAX corridor. We confirm a building-specific schedule after the door survey rather than quoting a fixed number up front.
