Why San Diego properties move now
Aging Onity, Saflok, VingCard
Older keycard fleets are winding down, with security notices active across the incumbents. Migrating now beats scrambling when parts and service dry up.
Phased, not shut down
We cut over floor by floor on overnight shifts, so San Diego rooms stay in inventory through the project.
What we plan for in San Diego
The local conditions that actually change how a San Diego access-control project is scoped and sequenced.
Coastal salt-air corrosion exposure
San Diego's beachfront resort and Coronado properties sit in a marine environment where salt air degrades exposed lock hardware, fasteners, and battery contacts much like Florida coastal stock. RevKey specifies Salto hardware finishes and weather-rated exterior reader housings suited to oceanfront doors, and builds shorter battery-inspection intervals into the maintenance plan for the most exposed elevations.
Convention calendar blackout windows
The downtown Gaslamp and Marina hotels run near capacity around Comic-Con and other convention peaks, leaving narrow windows when guest floors can be touched. RevKey phases the install floor by floor and wing by wing so no occupied floor is taken offline, and sequences the work around the property's convention and event calendar rather than against it.
California prevailing-wage labor norms
Larger San Diego hospitality and public-sector projects frequently fall under California prevailing-wage and union labor expectations that affect how on-site work is staffed and scheduled. RevKey coordinates its deployed crew with the property's general contractor and any required trades so that low-voltage and door work aligns with the project's labor framework and inspection sequence.
Mixed legacy keycard estate
San Diego's property mix runs from branded select-service near the airport corridor still on legacy keycard hardware to resort stock on Saflok MT, while newer Coronado and downtown builds already carry Salto. RevKey surveys each door type before deployment and stages the cutover so guest-facing rooms move from the legacy magstripe or RFID system to Salto without a period where a room cannot be locked.
Common migrations in San Diego
Legacy keycard hardware in select-service, Saflok MT in resort, Salto in newer Coronado and downtown builds.
Each migration page covers your options, timeline ranges, and scoping considerations.
How a San Diego 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 on overnight shifts 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 San Diego installs
How long does a Salto installation take for a San Diego hotel?
Timelines depend on door count and property layout, but most full-service and resort properties run in phased bands of several weeks, while smaller select-service sites are shorter. RevKey deploys a dedicated crew to your property and works floor by floor so the project fits inside the gaps in your convention and event calendar.
Can you install without closing guest floors during Comic-Con season?
Yes. RevKey phases the work wing by wing and floor by floor so no occupied floor is taken offline, which matters in downtown San Diego where convention peaks keep rooms full. We sequence around your blackout windows so revenue floors stay sellable throughout the migration.
We are still on Saflok or VingCard. How does the migration work?
RevKey surveys the existing doors first, then stages the cutover so each room moves from the legacy system to Salto in a controlled sequence rather than all at once. There is no point where a converted room is left unable to lock, and front-desk and back-office workflows are migrated alongside the hardware.
Does the salt air on the coast affect the system long term?
Coastal San Diego doors face the same marine corrosion pressure as other oceanfront markets, so RevKey specifies appropriate Salto finishes and exterior housings and sets tighter battery and hardware inspection intervals for exposed elevations. We also support the property after install so corrosion-prone components are caught and serviced before they cause guest-facing failures.
