My partner and I are in the process of renovating two duplexes here in Calgary and getting them ready for tenants.
We were having lunch the other day and thought of an idea - automatic door locks, or the ones with keypads.
Basically, they are $150/door. (lock and handle). Premise is that the tenants would be let into the property by us (master key) and then they can change the code on the keypad to whatever four digit number they want. So no keys cut by us.
One tenant moves out, well the new one just picks a new code and uses that. Their roommates can use it to so no copies need to be cut.
We can have ONE master key for all of our automatic door locks - just keep it on a keychain along with our housekeys, rather than have a huge wall of keys coded for each property.
Locks are battery powered and are supposedly good for three years before the battery needs changing.
Anyone ever used this??
