KABA selected for advanced technology, commitment to customers"Implementing Saflok System 6000 RFID hotel lock solutions for two different types of property provides a real-world example of its flexibility," says Kerry Hirschy, senior vice president of sales and marketing for KABA Hospitality. "System 6000 interfaces with existing property management systems for greater security, and RFID locking technology is extremely reliable. Both hotels are long-time Saflok users and evaluated other solutions before selecting the System 6000. Both said they valued Saflok's customer service." "We shopped the competition before we replaced our mag stripe locks with Saflok's RFID system," says Rick Creviston, chief engineer for Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch. "The other vendors were about equal in price. One reason that Saflok came out on top is the great job they've done supporting our original 20 year-old locks. Saflok never said that the locks were too old to maintain."
