MONTREAL,
QC, CANADA – April 5, 2011 – A growing number
of hotel operators can speak at length about the value, safety, and
reliability
of converting to RFID locks for their guest room doors, but at least
one of
them has another favorite benefit that is short and sweet: “Our guests
think
they are cool.”
Terry was so impressed that she had KABA install RFID locks on all Hotel Harrington’s 300 guest room doors. The retrofit to the older property went smoothly. “Many of our doors are quite old, but KABA’s team was experienced at fitting the new ILCO RFID hardware to the existing doors. They only took 10 days to do all our rooms. The installation team went from floor to floor with minimal guest inconvenience. The ILCO 790 is reliable and the convenience and quality is excellent. Our guests return keys as they check out and the system is very cost effective.” Howard Johnson Admiral Inn: RFID locks are sealed against the elements The Howard Johnson Admiral Inn on Tybee Island, GA, chose ILCO 790 RFID locks for their dependability. “RFID keys are easy for guests to use,” said Shawna Starks-Allen, hotel manager. “We have two outside entrance doors that also have RFID locks now. These locks are ideal for us because they are sealed against the elements.” Ms Starks-Allen also noted that her original locks were 15 years old and were failing. The company that sold them to her property would not replace the old locks without considerable expense. “The cost for the ILCO 790 RFID locks was comparable to my previous vendor’s units, so it was an easy decision to install the latest and easiest to use technology.”  About KABA, Saflok,
