Remote access control locks for vacation rental properties

[Thorvald Verlaeckt]

Hi all,

First and foremost a happy newyear!
I bought my first investment property for vacation rental and i have a question about some locking systems.
I've been thinking about putting remote controlled locks on the doors of my property, so i can monitor the locks from home and send out temperary access codes to the clients i rent out to.

Does anyone have any experience with these systems and does anyone know a good reliable brand for these kinds of locks.

The reason i want to go this route is because i am looking for another solution than a property manager and to have more control over my property. But to do so i have to able to control it remotely.

Kind regards,

And best of wishes for 2019

The lock does not need to be connected to wifi/internet in order to work properly. Everything can be done directly via the lock itself... which of course can be opened with a key as well.

Schlage says to replace the batteries every 12 months. I've heard others playing it safe and reducing that schedule to 6 months.
