Classic VingCard is winding down while ASSA ABLOY moves customers toward Vostio. You have a clean platform option, too.
Replace VingCard locks in Nashville.
RevKey is a Certified Salto Partner and veteran-owned business that plans and installs Salto for VingCard properties in Nashville, migrating you off VingCard floor by floor without pulling rooms out of inventory.
In Nashville, a Classic VingCard property is typically modernizing toward mobile key, not patching a hole. ASSA ABLOY is moving the market to its Vostio cloud platform and building newer hardware cloud-first, framing Classic VingCard as a Vostio-compatible upgrade bridge. As the #2 US market for openings in 2025 with 6,000-plus keys in the downtown pipeline, the local fit issues are music-calendar blackout windows and design-forward boutique hardware that has to look right while it works. Operators can upgrade in-family to Vostio cloud or move to Salto Space, which also supports native Apple Wallet keys; this page takes the Salto route.
- Nashville was projected to be the #2 U.S. market for new hotel rooms opening in 2025 (about 2,849 rooms), trailing only New York City.
- As of 2025 more than 6,000 hotel keys were in the downtown Nashville pipeline, concentrating new supply in the core around Broadway and the riverfront.

What we plan for in Nashville
Nashville's event calendar, anchored by CMA Fest and a dense run of convention and tourism peaks, pushes downtown and Music Row occupancy high enough that floors cannot be taken offline during those stretches. RevKey schedules cutovers around these blackout windows and works the install floor by floor or wing by wing so guest-occupied rooms keep working keys throughout. We confirm the property's booking calendar before sequencing and stage hardware to compress the on-site window.
Nashville's boutique segment leans more design-forward than the national average, which makes Salto's Aelement Fusion a more common fit on guest doors than in many markets. RevKey confirms door prep, handing, and finish against the property's design intent during the survey so the specified hardware lands cleanly on existing frames. We flag any openings that need prep adjustments before the crew deploys.
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 Nashville 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 Nashville
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 install take for a Nashville hotel?
Timelines scale with door count and property type. A boutique or branded select-service property typically runs from a few days to a couple of weeks of on-site work, while larger urban convention properties take longer and are usually phased. RevKey deploys a dedicated crew to the property and sequences the work around Nashville's event and convention calendar so guest floors stay in service.
