One of the best reasons to buy a smart lock is temporary access — without cutting spare keys or hiding one under the mat.
Set roles on day one
- Household members: fingerprint + long‑term code.
- Cleaners / gardeners: weekday time‑limited codes.
- Guests: codes that expire at checkout.
Good habits
- Delete or rotate codes when a job finishes.
- Avoid reusing the same code across properties.
- Keep a mechanical key backup for lockouts and power issues.
- Check whether your lock logs entry events if that matters for short stays.
Privacy note
Tell guests if access is logged. Be transparent — it builds trust and keeps you aligned with platform rules.
