That is true. I thought at first glance that those were just mechanical. I think I might go that route. I appreciate the input

 Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into those ones. Electronics ones would be fine hard wired, but batteries don’t last very long in 60° with wind chill very long is what I meant

I’m looking for recommendations on lock sets for my common area entry doors on my 4 plex. I’m not sure I want something electronic as it gets really cold where I live. I want something that’ll automatically lock as the door closes

I have a four plex with old carpet that needs to be redone, it’s mostly steps up and down. I live in the northern part of the country with long winter/wet seasons. What would you guys recommend for flooring? I want to keep it reasonably priced. Stair treads are outrageous. Also want to do something instead of the tile on the walls. Would vinyl plank or just some wall paneling be a better/cheaper option? Thanks ahead for responses!!

For your four plex with mostly steps up and down, especially in a region with long winter/wet seasons, I would recommend considering a durable and waterproof option such as luxury vinyl plank flooring. Vinyl plank flooring is affordable, easy to install, and resistant to moisture and wear, making it ideal for high traffic areas like stairs. Additionally, vinyl plank comes in a variety of styles and colors, allowing you to choose a design that fits the aesthetic of your property.

As for the walls, if you are looking for a budget-friendly option to replace tile, wall paneling could be a good choice. Wall paneling is easy to install, low maintenance, and can add a touch of warmth and texture to your space. Alternatively, you could also consider using a mix of both vinyl plank flooring and wall paneling to create a cohesive and cost-effective interior design for your four plex. Ultimately, the choice between vinyl plank flooring and wall paneling will depend on your personal preferences and the overall look you are trying to achieve.

I really appreciate the in-depth response/opinion! I heard the vinyl plank isn’t a good option for steps. I think maybe a commercial carpet, just squares would work. Do you agree?
