Saflok’s installation team proved as reliable as the company’s product Buck added that Saflok’s installation team proved as reliable as the company’s product. “The team installed all meeting room and guest doors in less than two weeks. During the implementation, we could use our old key system and the RFID in parallel by floor and tower.” Centralized door security monitoring provides peace of mind for guests Hilton DFW Lakes also benefits from other Saflok RFID features, including faster key coding at the desk and centralized door security monitoring. “If a door is left ajar anywhere in the hotel for a period of time, it shows up on our security monitor and our staff investigates it,” said Buck. “This helps us provide peace of mind for our guests.” “We believe that RFID is the way of the future for hotels,” concludes Buck. “The keys cost a bit more, but the benefits far outweigh the additional expense. We expect to recover that cost because of system reliability, and we will be recognized as a technology leader by our guests.” About Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center The Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center hotel in Grapevine, TX is a magnificent destination.
