Need to Change Door Locks at Triplex Rental-Which Ones Work Well?

[Aziza Sackett]

Hi All,

When we purchased a Triplex Rental in 2015 we installed the Kwikset Smartcode Keyless Entry/Code Levers 

https://www.kwikset.com/products/styles/smartcode-... and Deadbolt Locks  

https://www.kwikset.com/products/styles/smartcode-.... However, with the normal wear and tear/ usage of the two main entry doors to the units foyer area, we have had more than 5 service calls on the locks (for batteries, lock mechanism not functioning, etc.) and both front door Locks have had to be replaced once already and I am thinking it is time to use a different Door Lock method. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on which key lock system has worked well for them? 

I have been heavily considering changing the complete building to a fob system.

Does anyone have any insight on the key fob setup? Functionality? Cost associated with the setup of the fob system?

Thank you for your time and insight and I look forward to your responses,
