Why New Orleans 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 New Orleans rooms stay in inventory through the project.
What we plan for in New Orleans
The local conditions that actually change how a New Orleans access-control project is scoped and sequenced.
Historic-preservation hardware review
French Quarter and protected properties fall under city historic-district review, which can govern visible hardware changes on doors and frames before any retrofit proceeds. RevKey scopes Salto trims and finishes that satisfy preservation requirements and sequences install so documentation and approvals are settled before the crew is on site.
Non-ANSI doors and millwork
Much of the boutique and historic luxury stock has non-ANSI door prep, custom millwork, and older European-spec hardware rather than standard cutouts. RevKey field-surveys each opening before deployment and specifies the right Salto bodies, mortise cases, and adapter plates so doors are not left damaged or with mismatched prep.
Humidity and corrosion control
The Gulf Coast climate is persistently humid and accelerates corrosion on lock internals and battery contacts, especially on exterior and courtyard-facing openings. RevKey selects Salto hardware and finishes suited to high-moisture service and sets battery and maintenance expectations during commissioning to protect uptime.
Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest blackouts
Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and off-cycle convention runs create blackout windows where the CBD and Warehouse District operate at peak occupancy and disruptive work is not workable. RevKey plans phased deployment around these calendars, working floor by floor with no closed floors so rooms stay sellable throughout the event season.
Common migrations in New Orleans
Saflok and older keycard hardware in select-service. Historic boutique properties often carry older European-spec hardware that requires custom retrofit consideration.
Each migration page covers your options, timeline ranges, and scoping considerations.
How a New Orleans 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 New Orleans
We spec the right line per door type. Open any for full specs and use cases.
Common questions about New Orleans installs
How long does a Salto install take at a New Orleans hotel?
Timelines depend on door count and building complexity, and historic properties with non-ANSI openings take longer to survey and prep than modern boutique stock. We phase the work floor by floor so no floors are closed and rooms stay in service, and we plan the schedule around Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and convention windows rather than fighting them.
Do we need historic-preservation approval before changing locks?
For French Quarter and other protected properties, the city historic-district process can apply to visible hardware changes on doors and frames. RevKey helps scope Salto trims and finishes that meet those requirements and sequences the install so any required review is resolved before hardware work begins.
Can you migrate us off Saflok or older keycard hardware?
Yes. We commonly migrate select-service properties off Saflok and older keycard systems, and we assess historic boutique doors carrying older European-spec hardware individually. We plan the cutover so the legacy system keeps running until each area is commissioned on Salto, avoiding a period without working locks.
Does Salto support mobile keys for our guests?
Yes. Salto supports mobile credentials, and RevKey configures and tests the mobile-key workflow as part of commissioning, then trains your front desk and engineering staff on issuing and revoking access. We confirm the right reader and lock configuration for your property so the rollout works reliably from day one.
