Shared Laundry Room Security

[Cara Murray]

 I have my first multi family with a shared laundry area. Yay, to some extra cash flow! The laundry area is in the front of the complex and can be accessed by anyone. I am trying to make it secure and easy.... for me and the future tenants. Has anyone used the Schlage Encode locks and set them to auto lock? I think its a great idea but I want to know if anyone has actually used the process. What's your thoughts?

Hey Cara :)

I am a broker and property manager (100+ STR/MTR/LTR)

I manage some properties with shared laundry and I also have extensive knowledge of smart locks due to the Airbnb business. Schlage Encode is way more than you need, and 5-10x more expensive than other viable solutions.

Try a simple static code lock like this. You don't need all of the sophisticated integrations that Schlage Encode offers. You don't even need remote access since the laundry room code doesn't need to be changed frequently.
