Should I use smartlocks in my STR

[Geoffrey Greene]

Are folks using these? If so how do you keep track of the codes and make sure it's ready for the next visitor? I've stayed at some STR's where the electronic door code didn't work and it was a real pain as we stood at the door waiting for help. I want to make sure if I install these kinds of locks that the experience is flawless for my guests. Any advice on how to proceed would most welcome.

@Geoffrey Greene some smartlooks have backup keys you can use if the battery is low. Change the batteries frequently but also have an onsite lock box with the key in it. The schlage has a backup key.  you only tell them where the key is if you get a distress call.
