The easiest and most impactful device to add to your multifamily properties is a Smart Door Lock.
When it comes to making your multifamily properties "smart" you have to keep your tenants priorities a part of your priorities. Tenants want 2 things out of these devices. The first is security and the second is convenience. Smart Door Locks give you the best of both worlds meeting your tenant with security and convenience right at their front door. Let's look at the 3 reasons why Smart Door Locks are a necessity in modern apartments.
1. Track Who Comes and Goes
Giving your tenants access to reports of who has been in their apartment serves a purpose for both you and your tenants. For the tenant it gives them peace of mind knowing they can view who has come and gone. For you it covers any liability of a tenant saying something along the lines of, "when I leave for work the maintenance man is in my apartment stealing my stuff." Simply pull up a report of their unit and show them that none of your staff have been in their apartment since they last requested.
2. Keyless Access Makes Adding and Removing Users Simple
With the Enterprise Dashboard you can easily remove and add users meaning if you add a new leasing agent to the team it takes less than 30 seconds to add them to all of your units. Where this is really valuable is when you have a tenant move out or an employee move on to another job. There's no key to collect, simply remove their credentials from the system and that's it. This will save you the hassle and cost of having your lock re-keyed. You can also give outside contractors temporary credentials or setup rules that allow the cleaning service employees to have access to only vacant units between 9am and 4pm. Sound complicated? We will educate your team on the Enterprise Dashboard as well as manage it all for you.
3. Certified Security
One of the main concerns of Smart Door Locks is if we are sacrificing security for convenience. There are different levels of certification for door locks. BHMA certifications give you an idea of the level of damage and force a door lock can take before it fails. The Kwikset smart locks that we offer are BHMA 3 Certified meaning they can withstand kicks and other forceful actions. If you are looking for something that can withstand something like a sledgehammer blow then our Yale smart locks will do the trick being that they are BHMA 2 Certified.
Smart Door Locks give you and your tenants peace of mind, reduce liability, and convenience right at your finger tips without sacrificing security.
