If you are considering renting out your spare room or house, making small changes will pave the way for you.

Door locks are the first line of defense when it comes to rental security. Choosing the best landlord locks for your rental property is not only related to security but also helps you enjoy the landlord’s life.

Significant factors in picking door locks for rental property

Not all door locks are suitable for your rental property. And it’s not as easy as people think about renting out their houses.

The following are the major factors that you should consider.

Rekeying

To avoid the keys being copied, you’d better rekey your locks with the comings and goings of tenants. But it is not that easy to rekey a traditional lock. Only if you have a full understanding of re-keying locks can you do so. Otherwise, it will cost a lot of money and time to get a locksmith to re-key your locks.

Keyless door locks can make a difference. They make your needs simple: remove the code and add new code according to the programming steps.

Security

The mission of the door lock is to prevent thieves and intruders. Since there will be many tenants, especially Airbnb homeowners, the safety performance of your lock becomes more important.

From the point of view of the manufacturing process, smart and electronic door locks are more sophisticated than traditional door locks. And they are much more difficult for thieves to damage.

Key control

As a landlord, your top worry about the rental property should be that tenants make a copy of your key without your permission.

But you have no way to control it if you install a traditional door lock. Once the accident happens, you will have no choice but to change a new entry door lock.

This expense could have been avoided. If you choose a keyless entry door lock, this problem goes away. All you need to do is add a new code for the tenant and remove it after their departure.
