XS4 Original+ is Salto's proven, high-volume hotel escutcheon and the line we default to on most projects, new construction and retrofit alike. It fits a wide range of door standards (ANSI, Euro, DIN, Scandinavian) and is built to replace existing hardware, so it drops onto doors coming off Onity, Saflok, or VingCard about as cleanly as it specs into a new build. The Wide Body escutcheon is the workhorse trim: a broad plate that covers existing door prep on retrofits and reads as a clean, intentional install on new doors. It runs the full Salto credential stack (BLE and NFC mobile keys, RFID, PIN) and supports brand mobile-key programs. When a project has no specific reason to go compact or design-forward, XS4 Original+ is the call.

Where XS4 Original+ fits, and where it doesn’t

EnvironmentIndoor (IP44 (IP54 external-escutcheon option))
Form factorMortise + escutcheon
BatteryAA (LR06) Multi-year typical; supports BLE and NFC mobile credentials.
Durability gradeEscutcheon over mortise or tubular prep; electronic side per A156.25.
Ideal trafficHeavy traffic The proven XS4 escutcheon platform. The Wide Body trim covers existing door prep on retrofits and reads clean on new builds.

Best for

  • New-build and retrofit hotel guest doors as the high-volume default
  • Migrations off Onity, Saflok, or VingCard where the Wide Body trim covers existing prep
  • Properties standardizing on one proven Salto lock across the floor plan
  • Multifamily, government, and commercial doors that take a full escutcheon

Not ideal for

  • Narrow-profile doors where the compact XS4 One fits better
  • Design-led rooms where the Aelement Fusion aesthetic is the point
  • Doors that cannot change prep at all (a Neo cylinder swap is better)
  • Outdoor doors without the external-escutcheon option

Things to think about

The Wide Body trim is the retrofit workhorse

On a migration off Onity, Saflok, or VingCard, the Wide Body escutcheon is a broad plate sized to cover the holes and wear the old lock leaves behind, so most doors take the new lock without new millwork. Confirm the existing prep at survey, but in practice the Wide Body is what lets XS4 Original+ drop onto so many existing doors.

Equally at home on new construction

XS4 Original+ is not a retrofit-only or modernization-only lock. It is a current, full-feature hotel lock that specs into new builds just as often, which is why it is the default unless a door calls for the compact XS4 One or the design-forward Aelement Fusion.

Confirm the brand mobile-key program

XS4 Original+ supports brand mobile-key programs, but each flag certifies specific firmware and credential stacks. Confirm the exact program version your property is held to before a fleet ships so it arrives pre-compliant.

XS4 Original+: frequently asked

  • Do I need to replace my XS4 Original locks to get mobile keys?

    Often not. XS4 Original is firmware-upgradeable to BLE and NFC, so many existing fleets can move to mobile keys without replacing every lock body. An installer can confirm your generation and the exact upgrade path at the lock head before you commit to any hardware.

  • Should I spec XS4 Original+ for a new project?

    Yes. XS4 Original+ is a current, full-feature hotel lock and our high-volume default for new construction as well as retrofit. Choose the compact XS4 One instead when a door is narrow or design-driven, or Aelement Fusion when the in-room aesthetic is the point.

  • What credentials does XS4 Original+ support?

    BLE and NFC mobile keys, RFID (Mifare, DESFire), and PIN. Apple Wallet is supported on current firmware; we confirm what your specific units can reach.
