Door entry systems for multi-family housing?
Hello,
I just purchased a 11 unit rooming house and was looking to get away from the keyed entry for the main doors to get in and out of the property. There are 4 doors total.
I am just nervous that current tenants could make copies of keys without me knowing and give them to friends/relatives/ boyfriends/ girlfriends etc. I plan to have security cameras around the property but I will really only check them if I hear of an issue. I also want to be able to either collect the only key they have and/or be able to de-activate their key if they were to "lose it" or when they move out. I think this will make the tenants there feel more safe too.
Anyone currently use anything they like and that is reliable? I will have an on site manager but I don't want them to have to be making a new card or something every couple of days because the bar code got smudged or something.
Thanks!
Mike
