Smart lock for sliding glass doors

[Marija401]

Hi, I am new to hosting. I see that there are sliding glass door smart locks on Amazon. Has anyone used one of these and integrated it with Airbnb? I do plan on also having a lockbox as backup but would like a smart keypad as my primary entry method.

Hi @Marija401,

Sliding glass door smart locks can be a sleek and modern solution for your Airbnb. To ensure compatibility and smooth integration, check that the lock is specifically designed for sliding doors. Many smart locks now offer Airbnb integration, allowing you to automate code generation for guests. This feature simplifies entry and adds a layer of security.

A lockbox as a backup is an excellent idea. While smart locks are reliable, having a manual alternative ensures that your guests can still access the property in case of tech issues or if there' power interruption.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
