Best way to handle Keys and locks at 50+ Units

Posted

Hi folks, I am currently doing research and looking into potential solutions and successful methods to simplify keys and gaining access to all our units. We have thought of a few different options, going to an interchangeable core system where a "master key" would grant access to exterior and interior doors of all buildings. We have thought about going to a digital key pad but are not sure about batteries dying and the fact we would still need to catalog all the keys to these pads.

There are so many factors I am hoping to gain helpful insight from some of you who may have already solved this issue.

Thanks!

I've been very thankful for my decision to move to a Barska Key Cabinet for storage, Google Sheets for coding and tracking, and Kwikset Smart Key for each of our locks.  We are able to rekey a lock in about 3 seconds per lock and give everyone a guaranteed fresh key every time.
