Smart Key Codes Simplify Security With New Renters

If a renter vacates your property, you have to make sure they don’t retain entry to their old house. If they took or copied a key, then they have the ability to re-enter your home. To counteract this concern, you might switch out your locks each time a lease ends or utilize smart keypad locks that integrate with your security system. With smart locks, you can allocate every tenant a unique code that can deactivate when the lease ends. In the event renters return and use their old code on the keypad, you will get an alert on your smartphone.

Set your lighting to activate at specific hours during the day and night and play music for a few hours, and a potential burglar will think twice before trying to enter.
