Access control

SALTO systems, specified for the mountain

We install and manage SALTO access control across Copper Mountain — from a single staff-housing door to every opening in a lodge. Here is what that covers.

The platform

SALTO KS or SALTO SVN

SALTO replaces mechanical locks with smart electronic locks that talk to each other wirelessly. Two platforms sit behind them, and the right one depends on how your property runs — which is exactly what the site assessment is for.

SALTO KS — cloud managed

Everything lives online. Grant or revoke access from a browser or phone anywhere with a connection, and changes reach the locks in real time. The usual fit for properties with remote managers, guest turnover, or several buildings.

SALTO SVN — data on card

Permissions travel on the credential itself and update as it is used at reader points around the property. No ongoing connectivity needed, which suits buildings where network coverage is thin.

Hardware

What actually goes on the door

Openings differ. A ski-locker gate, a fire-rated stairwell door, and a unit entry all want different devices.

Door locks & handle sets

Battery-powered escutcheons and handle sets that replace the lock already on the door — XS4 Original+, Mini, One S, and the Ælement range. Wire-free on most ANSI preparations.

Deadbolts

DBolt Touch and DBolt Touch IC, replacing compatible mechanical deadbolts on residential and unit entry doors.

Electronic cylinders

The SALTO Neo range — mortise, rim, deadbolt, cam lock, and Swiss profile. Drop-in replacements for openings where a full lock swap is overkill.

Padlocks & locker locks

Neoxx armored padlocks for gates and utility areas, plus locker locks for ski storage and shared amenity lockers.

Wall readers

Design XS, Modular XS, Glass XS, and long-distance readers for main entries, elevators, turnstiles, and parking gates.

Controllers & wireless

CU4000 controllers, BLUEnet door controllers, gateways, nodes, and repeaters — the backbone that carries changes out to the locks in real time.

Monitoring & energy

Door and window sensors, face-recognition terminals, and credential-activated room power for hospitality and rental spaces.

Credentials

Cards, fobs, wristbands, stickers, and mobile keys — including renewable-material and paper guest cards for short stays.

System design

The plan comes before the hardware

Most access-control regret traces back to a system that was sold before anyone understood the building. We start with a door schedule — every opening, its current hardware, who needs through it, and when.

From there the design covers device selection per opening, how credentials are grouped, what schedules apply to each group, and where gateways need to sit for reliable wireless coverage.

See the full process
  • Door-by-door schedule of every opening on the property
  • Device recommendation matched to each door type and exposure
  • Access groups mapped to how your staff and owners actually work
  • Time schedules for vendors, housekeeping, and seasonal access
  • Wireless coverage plan so changes reach the locks reliably
  • A phasing plan if the whole property is not going at once

Credentials

Cards, fobs, and phones on one property

You do not have to pick one. Most Copper properties mix all three, and all of them are managed from the same dashboard.

SALTO key cards, fobs and silicone wristbands alongside access cards custom-printed with a property management company's own branding
Cards, fobs and wristbands from our own stock — and cards printed with a property's own branding, which is how most managers hand them to owners and guests.

Mobile keys

Sent to a phone, activated for a date range. Best for guests and owners who arrive outside office hours.

Cards

Cheap to issue and easy to replace. Good for vendors, contractors, and short-term staff.

Fobs

Durable and glove-friendly — the practical choice for staff working outdoors through a Copper winter.

Ongoing support

The part that matters in year three

An access system is not a one-time purchase. Batteries run down, staff turn over, doors get added, and someone eventually locks themselves out of the mechanical room at 7am.

We support what we install. Same company, same people, based at 760 Copper Road— not a ticket queue in another state.

  • Battery replacement and preventive hardware service
  • Credential issuing and revocation help when you need it
  • Staff training and retraining as your team changes
  • Adding doors and buildings to the existing system
  • Troubleshooting on site, on the mountain

FAQ

Questions about the system

What property managers usually want to know before an assessment.

Do we have to replace every door at once?

No. SALTO systems are designed to be phased. Most properties start with the doors that cause the most work — main entries, staff housing, mechanical rooms — and add units later. Everything joins the same platform as it comes online.

What happens to access when the internet or power goes out?

The locks are battery powered and hold their permissions on the device, so they keep working through an outage. Changes you make in the dashboard sync back once the connection returns.

Will these hold up at 9,700 feet?

That is the reason we specify carefully. Cold, condensation, and heavy seasonal traffic all shorten hardware life, so exterior openings get devices rated for it rather than whatever is cheapest on the shelf.

Can guests use their phones instead of a card?

Yes. Credentials can live on a card, a fob, or a smartphone, and you can mix them across one property — staff on fobs, guests on mobile, vendors on time-limited cards.

How long does a credential change take?

Seconds to make, and same day to get to you. Access is granted or revoked from the dashboard — the delay most properties run into is not the software, it is waiting on whoever administers it.

Do you support systems somebody else installed?

Yes — that is most of our work. Plenty of Copper buildings already have SALTO hardware that nobody is actively administering. In most cases the existing locks stay exactly where they are; what changes is who manages them and how fast you get a response.
