Regular LocksAs a locksmith I have used and repaired  Kwikset SmartKey locks.

I get them to give me written permission to access property and then I call a locksmith.

You also bring along a locksmith to change the locks.

Perhaps even a master locksmith could do it.

If it's calling a locksmith then do that.Act as if everything you do, say, type , text has to be explained to a judge in a hearing one day.

Call a lock smith and get a price quote.

sold that place too.Make friend with the neighbors, secure the property, carry insurance, and be conscience of the crime in the area, will go a long way to reducing your odds of break ins.Also don't leave tools or other valuables at the property, and only order materials as you need them.Steve Babiak, we used to use double cylinder deadbolts on properties but a PA locksmith told me that there was a state law making them illegal.

There were only 2 offices then and they were starving.Most of the realtors manage properties on the side for extra money, or even have small jobs on the side, one is a locksmith, runs some cattle, etc.

Usually these are set up by a locksmith because the people at Lowes and Home Depot don't know how to do it.I would recommend you provide your landlord a copy of your key for emergencies.  

The sheriff in my county refuses to take investors inside the building so you will either have to contact the owner (the best way) or hire a locksmith (not recommended as this may be "bending" the rules in your area).But... if you can get the inspection before it goes to auction then you should have no problem closing within 30 days.
