FAQs
Common questions about Salto wireless access control installation, costs and system capabilities.
How much does a Salto system cost?
How long do the batteries last?
Can Salto be fitted to existing doors?
Is Salto suitable for listed buildings?
Yes. Wireless installation requires no cable chasing – often the only viable option for listed buildings. Battery power means no electrical work. We’ve installed Salto where planning authorities rejected wired systems.
How long does installation take?
Single buildings typically complete in 1-2 days. Large hotels or apartment blocks may require 1-2 weeks depending on door count. Wireless installation is significantly faster than traditional wired systems. We often install overnight or during quiet periods to minimize disruption.
What happens if the battery dies?
Systems alert administrators 3-6 months before battery depletion. Emergency mechanical key overrides maintain access even with completely dead batteries. We offer proactive battery replacement programmes preventing failures. If batteries do deplete unexpectedly, we attend site rapidly to restore electronic operation.
