White Lodging Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown
Kaba, provider of Saflok™ and ILCO™ brands of electronic locks, announced White Lodging
selected Kaba's Saflok
Quantum and RT RFID guestroom door locks for more than 30 Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt,
IHG, and other flagged properties. Installation began in 4Q 2013 with completion
expected in early 2014. Click here for

"White Lodging selected Kaba's lock
systems for these properties after a thorough evaluation of the 3 major lock providers.
We selected Kaba on the basis of product, service, and cost," said Thomas D.
Riegelman, VP of engineering & facilities management for White Lodging. "The current
agreement covers 30 existing properties and we expect to add a number of additional
'Kaba' properties in 2014 and 2015, both existing and new construction."
Kaba RFID selection was a good decision
"We have had an
excellent Kaba project team managing our implementation," Riegelman said. "We are
replacing our non-PMS-interfaced magstripe locks with the latest fully interfaced RFID
locks. We are also planning to implement a number of systems that are integrated with
the property's guestroom energy management system to maximize guest service and
energy savings."
White Lodging has standardized on RFID lock systems for
its replacement systems and for all new construction. "Any time you manage a large
portfolio of properties, there is always a need for locks to be changed out and
upgraded," Riegelman said. "We have 10 hotels opening this year, and all of them will
have Kaba locks. I expect White Lodging's strong relationship with Kaba to continue well
beyond these current lock system replacements. Kaba has remained an excellent choice
for White Lodging."
The Kaba Saflok Quantum II RFID lock offers an
attractive two-piece modular design that combines a contemporary appearance with
Kaba reliability. Quantum
locks also provide online capability with Kaba's
Messenger™ system that converts stand-alone, battery-operated door locks into bi-
directional communication devices for greater guest safety and operational convenience.
The Kaba Saflok
RT is a rugged contactless lock that offers
RFID technology to enhance the guest room access experience and streamline hotel
operations. The full-body RT lock is a perfect retro-fit option for replacing existing
mechanical or electronic door locks throughout a facility.
