Interior Front Door Lock

[Israel-And-Rachel0]

We recently had a guest request for us to install a interior security lock and was wondering if other hosts are doing this and if it's a good idea to install them.

Hello @Israel-And-Rachel0 ,

I would thoroughly consider installing any lock system that restricts my access to my own property.

Hi,

We have two locks on our unit...

One lock is the "key" lock that all guests have access to...

The second is a keyed bolt lock (bolted from inside, keyed from outside) however, only the owner and us/cleaner have a copy...maybe you could offer this?  

Keep in mind, the guest should expect to pay,  between lock and locksmith, it is about a $350 investment. 

As @Guy991 mentions, best not to create the opportunity for guest to lock you out. 😞

@Israel-And-Rachel0  Our property has two locks.  One is the coded deadbolt and the other is the lower keyed lock.  The keyed lock is recommended for guest use when inside the property.  This does make our guests feel secure.
