Why San Francisco 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 Francisco rooms stay in inventory through the project.
What we plan for in San Francisco
The local conditions that actually change how a San Francisco access-control project is scoped and sequenced.
Historic Victorian and Edwardian doors
Many San Francisco boutique and luxury properties occupy converted Victorian and Edwardian buildings where original mortise doors, irregular stiles, and out-of-square frames complicate prep type assessment. RevKey performs a door-by-door survey before ordering so the correct Salto prep, escutcheons, and any shimming or filler plates are confirmed for each opening rather than assumed from a building age or floor plan.
Union labor coordination on most jobs
Most Union Square and Financial District properties operate under union labor norms, and access-control work often has to be sequenced alongside in-house engineering and represented trades. RevKey coordinates its deployed crew with property labor requirements and schedules cutover work to respect on-site trade jurisdiction so installation proceeds without work stoppages.
Convention calendar compresses cutover windows
The Moscone Center and Union Square convention calendar keeps urban-convention hotels at high occupancy in waves, leaving narrow windows for guest-room door work. RevKey phases the install floor by floor and times cutover around the property's group blocks so no floor is taken fully offline during a peak booking period.
Coastal marine climate and battery life
San Francisco's cool, damp marine air and persistent fog mean exterior and perimeter openings see steady moisture and condensation that can shorten battery service intervals and stress unsealed hardware. RevKey specifies weather-appropriate Salto hardware for exposed entries and sets a battery and maintenance baseline at handover so perimeter doors are not the first to fail.
Common migrations in San Francisco
Legacy keycard hardware in select-service, Saflok MT in luxury. Several boutique properties already on Salto from 2018-2022 builds.
Each migration page covers your options, timeline ranges, and scoping considerations.
How a San Francisco 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.
Salto product lines we install in San Francisco
We spec the right line per door type. Open any for full specs and use cases.
Common questions about San Francisco installs
How long does a Salto rollout take for a Union Square hotel?
Timelines depend on door count and occupancy, but a typical full-service property runs in the range of a couple of weeks to several weeks of on-site work. RevKey phases the work floor by floor so no floor is fully closed, and we sequence cutover around your convention blocks and group business rather than a fixed calendar date.
Can you migrate us off Saflok or VingCard without closing floors?
Yes. Migration from Saflok MT, VingCard, Onity, or dormakaba is a planned, phased cutover: we survey and order against your actual door prep, stage hardware, then convert floor by floor while the rest of the property stays operational. Each converted floor is verified before we move on, so occupied rooms keep working keys throughout.
Do San Francisco guests really expect mobile key?
The strong tech-industry guest base in San Francisco does push mobile-key expectations above what many other markets see. Salto supports mobile credentialing, and RevKey configures and tests the mobile-key workflow as part of the install and trains your front desk and engineering staff so the feature is live and supported at handover, not left as a future phase.
Our property is in a historic building. Does that change the install?
It can. Original Victorian and Edwardian doors and frames often need individual assessment for prep type, fit, and any reinforcement before hardware is ordered. RevKey handles this with a door-by-door survey up front so the correct Salto solution is matched to each opening and surprises are caught before installation begins, not during it.
