Why Seattle 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 Seattle rooms stay in inventory through the project.
What we plan for in Seattle
The local conditions that actually change how a Seattle access-control project is scoped and sequenced.
Cruise-Season Waterfront Peaks
Seattle waterfront and downtown hotels run near capacity through the summer cruise season, leaving little room to take blocks of rooms offline. RevKey sequences these properties for the shoulder months and, when summer work is unavoidable, installs in small floor-by-floor batches so no guest floor closes. Crews coordinate around homeport turnaround days that push occupancy highest.
Convention Calendar Blackouts
The downtown convention calendar drives recurring blackout windows when business and event demand spikes and management will not release rooms. RevKey maps the install schedule against the property's group and convention bookings before mobilizing, then phases each tower around those dates. This keeps the Salto cutover from colliding with peak-revenue weeks.
Marine Climate Door Hardware
The Puget Sound marine climate brings persistent damp and salt-influenced air that can accelerate corrosion on exterior and exposed-corridor hardware and shorten battery life in cold, humid conditions. RevKey specifies weather-rated Salto components for exterior and breezeway openings and sets battery and seal expectations accordingly during scoping. Door prep on older swollen frames is checked before mounting to ensure reliable reads.
Prevailing-Wage And Historic Constraints
Public and publicly funded Seattle projects fall under Washington prevailing-wage rules, and many downtown and Pioneer Square buildings sit in historic districts with review limits on visible door changes. RevKey scopes labor and documentation to meet prevailing-wage requirements where they apply and selects Salto trim and mounting that preserves protected door appearance. We confirm any landmark or design-review steps before hardware is ordered.
Common migrations in Seattle
Legacy keycard hardware in select-service, Saflok MT in larger properties, Salto in newer boutique builds.
Each migration page covers your options, timeline ranges, and scoping considerations.
How a Seattle 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 Seattle installs
How long does a Salto install take for a Seattle hotel, and will floors have to close?
For a typical select-service or boutique property the work usually runs in a span of days to a few weeks depending on door count and access. RevKey installs in phases, working a wing or floor at a time so no guest floor goes fully offline, which matters most for waterfront and downtown hotels that stay busy through cruise and convention season.
We are still on Saflok MT. Can RevKey migrate us to Salto without a full shutdown?
Yes. Saflok MT is one of the most common legacy systems we replace in larger Seattle properties, and we plan migrations as a door-by-door cutover rather than a single switchover. Existing locks keep working until each opening is converted, so the front desk and guests are never without a working credential during the transition off Saflok, VingCard, Onity, or dormakaba hardware.
Our tech-heavy guests expect mobile keys. Does Salto support that out of the box?
Salto supports mobile credentials through its own access platform and wallet-based keys, which aligns with the higher mobile-key expectations common among Seattle's business and tech guest base. RevKey configures and tests mobile access during commissioning and trains front-desk and engineering staff so the feature is live and supported when guests arrive.
What is specific to scoping a job in Seattle versus elsewhere?
Three things shape Seattle scoping: the summer cruise and convention peaks that compress install windows, the marine climate that affects exterior hardware and battery planning, and prevailing-wage and historic-district rules on certain downtown and Pioneer Square buildings. RevKey deploys a dedicated crew to the property and builds the schedule around the convention calendar and any landmark review before work begins.
