Smart locks on only 1 door of house with multiple entry doors?

Mike Palmer

Hello:

I am thinking about switching to smart locks on a property that is far away so I can better manage it remotely. I have searched and there are so many forums about smart locks, but after going through several of them I have not seen any that address this question specifically. I have a property that has 5 exterior doors that enter the house. It is too cost-prohibitive to smart lock all 5 doors. Has anyone else done smart locks on a house with multiple entry doors to the same unit? Do you just do one smart lock on the main or most used door and not give out keys to the other doors?

Are all 5 doors regularly used? For my personal residence, the front door has a key that’s in a drawer somewhere. I only ever use the side door with the keypad lock.

Why not make one or two if the entrances ‘enterable’ and use the others as exit only doors or emergency exit?
