Keyless/smart lock for rental property to save on costs

Hello for my first three rental properties do I go ahead and invest into a keyless/smart door lock for the back and front doors for tenants?

We would switch out the door locks each time at tenant moves out and a new tenant signs a lease so that would cost a lot down the road vs buying a smart lock to save on costs.

What are your thoughts and what do i buy?

Regular locks aren't that much. I just move them around or get the Kwik Set smart  rekeyable locks.

keypads are more expensive, more prone to break and the tenant may call you when they can't get in because the batteries died.
