You enter a pin number to unlock it if your in front of the device.

This allows you to add/delete door codes remotely and track people coming and going as it logs every time the door is locked/unlocked and by whom.Smart Thermostat.

Does anyone have any experience buying smart-locks and using them to reduce lost keys as well as being able to unlock and lock your investment property remotely?

One such breaking of the rules is leaving the exterior door of the shared coin-op laundry room unlocked or worse, leaving it wide open.

I called a locksmith and he said there was nothing he could do.My options if no windows are unlocked are to break a window, kick open the door, or someone suggested I could possibly use a flexible saws all blade and cut the bolt itself through the gap.Any suggestions, cheaper the better, would be appreciated.

Before unlocking the door turn and state.  

The click-together interlocking ones tend to stay straight and can be locked and unlocked.
