A smart lock operates through the property\u2019s Wifi or Bluetooth and gives hosts the ability to send access codes to guests who use their smartphone or enter a code on a numerical keypad to unlock the door. The unique code expires once the guests have checked out.<\/p>\n<p>Smart locks also allow property managers to remotely enable access codes to facilitate housekeeping and maintenance. Some smart locks also allow you to track when guests enter and exit your property, providing property managers with valuable insights and data for managing check-ins and check-outs.<\/p>\n<p>A Smart lock is one of the main tools that owners can use to facilitate remote property management, automate check-in, save time and money. They offer convenience, security, and peace of mind for both guests and property managers. They also eliminate the risk of lost keys, guests accidentally getting locked out of the property and leaving doors unlocked.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Things to consider when buying a smart lock<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Installation type<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>Depending on the type of smart lock you choose, it will either retrofit with your existing door handle and you will need to install the locking hardware, or you can replace the existing built-in lock.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Backup option<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>What is the backup option for unlocking the door if the guest\u2019s phone battery dies, the app, batteries or wifi fails &#8211; a key or keypad?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Connection type<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>What kind of connection does it have?
