We have a five-bedroom house that will be a co-living space with room rentals. We are looking to install keypad door locks / levers or knobs (not deadbolts) where the access passcodes can automatically be changed when new tenants come. What would you recommend for the wifi door locks and the software to run them?

Hi Waylon. A lock that I have used in the past and really like was Yale Assure Lock 2. Each lock is operated by (4) AA batteries. It is wi-fi and has the ability to set, change, or delete codes from their app and is extremely easy to do. There is also a feature for the lock to automatically lock after a set duration. This can be toggled on or off. Install is super simple as well. Best of luck!

Tyler, Thank you for that advice. We wanted to bring both the internal room rental doors as well as the 4 external doors all on the same platform but it seems very pricey to do so. We just installed the Schlage encode wifi on the exterior doors and then the Fitnate digital smart lock knob on the interior doors.

Hey man! I highly recommend the Schlag Encode. It runs about $350 but has a pretty awesome app that gives notifications on if the door is open/closed, you can open/close remotely with a button push, and you can create up to like 100 custom pin codes and change how long certain codes are good for etc. The install was very easy, it is a bit pricey but other than that I love everything about it. The only other thing, it takes 3-4 AA batteries I believe (I forget lol). Not sure how long the batteries usually last but I’m thinking of keeping a secret lockbox hidden somewhere outside with a physical key to that lock in the case that the batteries die and I am offsite etc. I like it man!
I recently installed a Kwikset that has an app. Very nice. I can see everytime it locks / unlocks. I have codes for renters, cleaning crew, and family and friends. It's great to be able to change these codes whenever I want. I can also remote unlock the door for a vendor if I don't want to give them a code.

You were right on the money. The schlage encodes are not cheap but they are flawless to work with.
