Saflok™ RT™ networked door locking system at the Hyatt Regency
Montreal. The new Saflok Messenger™

The RT lock system also signals when individual batteries are low, allowing Hyatt Regency Montreal’s engineers to replace them on an as-needed basis. “The cost savings on the manpower and batteries for our 805 door locks is an instant operational savings, and it will contribute to the payback for the new RFID system,” said Santori. “In the past, we had to change all door batteries at once periodically, and many of the batteries may not have needed replacement.” KABA’s Installation team meets ‘fast schedule’ “It took only three weeks for RFID installation for our entire hotel, including troubleshooting and training our staff,” said Santori. “KABA conducted coordination meetings with our staff before, during, and after the installation process. The KABA team was professional and experienced, and they worked within our fast-track schedule.” About the Hyatt Regency Montreal Hyatt Regency Montreal is a full service Four Star hotel located downtown in the heart of Quartier des Spectacles, the city’s cultural district.
