Key control blows! I plan to upgrade all my units to smart locks!

[Harvey Yergin IV]

I am not trying to deal with a bunch of metal keys or 12pm lockouts. I AM trying to be a higher tech and automated property manager. Therefore, I plan to phase-in smart locks for all my units. Question: Which smart locks would you recommend? I don’t want to have to rely on local internet connectivity. I do want to assign access codes to tenants and contractors. Thanks BP!!

i use erentallock.com on mine. they dont require wifi, or internet. they use mathematic algorithms to spit out a code based on the time of day and length of stay. theyre typically used for VRBO but i use them on my rentals. codes are good for 2 years max. At that point if the tenant is still there, you just reissue a code for them. They can change their 10 digit access code down to a 4 digit 'short code' with instructions provided. They are kinda pricey, but my rentals are all in houston, and im in DFW, and they dont get keys. I tell them to change the batteries when i send them the lease renewal or else theyll get locked out. seems to work well so far.
