Vacation Rental Electronic Lock Recommendation Beach Home
I am replacing the front door on my beach home turning the property into an STR AirBnB rental. I want to install a durable electronic lock that can handle the environment and doesn't have battery issues. Can anyone recommend a quality electronic lock system?

We use the Schlage Encode locks for our rentals. They use AA batteries that should be changed every 4-6 months depending the amount of use to ensure they don't die. It does comes with a key that we have hidden at our properties just in case there are any battery problems. So far, it's been smooth sailing, and we've been using them for about 18 months. Schlage has a lifetime warranty too.
