Anyone using electronic deadbolts?
Having a lot of work done in my first rental property and I’m not going be around to let contractors in. Has anyone used electronic deadbolts for these situations? Figured it would also allow handymen to get in when the tenant is gone as well. I am shying away from “smart locks.” They rely on internet connection and are a little unnecessary for my duplex. Welcome your thoughts and advice. Thanks in advance!

@Joshua T. I have one on one property but it just came with the house, a good old fashioned lockbox will be sufficient for contractors.
