Smart lock alternatives
Hi, I have a cylinder lock that, when I showed a picture to a couple locksmiths, is supposedly incompatible with any smartlocks because the door is too thin where the lock is located. I have some lockboxes but any other ideas?
Have you tried Schlage Encode? Would answer it better if I have a clear picture of what smart locks were incompatible you've checked out.
Is that a glass inset into the door? so there is just the little narrow section for the lock? It sucks to spend the money, but unless the door had historical value, we would replace the whole door. If it is for an Airbnb where we want a smart lock it makes our life easier. If it was a long term rental and you only need it for workers during turnover we would use a standard lockbox.
You hit it right on the head. That is glass. I found a smart lockbox that should fit the bill. It is a short term rental but not residential. It is for parties, etc. Thus, little skittish giving out the code to a regular lockbox.
Quote from @Les Jean-Pierre:That makes sense. The smart locks are super great when you need to give different people limited access. Lockbox would allow keys to be copied.

I used this smart lockbox that gives a temporary code. Worked fine. I think the client was a big reason too. So, made a nice sum of change for a one day rental.
