Best Commercial Door Locks for Apartments

[John Allen]

Background: I have a two building complex in a C neighborhood. I am taking it back over after the Property Manager ran it into the ground.

I will be replacing all 4 exterior Commercial Doors (front and back). I want doors that lock back automatically. There are transients in the area that have been getting in the previous unlocked doors.

The main thing is safety for my tenants. I want them

to feel like their apartment complex is “home”. I’d like to give them this peace of mind at a reasonable price and minimize ongoing maintenance with our doors.

What is the best option for this? I am leaning toward something with a Code rather than a key. But I am open to all ideas.
