Kwickset smart key (master key) deadbolt
I'm considering installing the Kwickset smart key (master key) deadbolt on my rental. Link: https://www.kwikset.com/smartsecurity/key-control.aspx. Has anyone had experience with this? I called a local lock smith and he told me he wouldn't use them because hes had to drill 12 out in the last year. I've also seen mixed reviews online.
I'm thinking I might put them on anyways because my apartments have two doors to every unit so even if one locks up they can still use the other door and i'll just change out the locked up dead bolt from the inside (replace it with a new one). I think it will still save money in the long run with not having to change the lock after a tenant leaves or eviction.
