I use Schlage smart lock. I am able to set up unique codes for each guest and I can manage it remotely. Just remember to change the batteries regularly. I would use a lockbox as a backup in the event the door code doesnt work.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Valbona8 , did you get a chance to have a look at @Debra699 's recommendation? 

Reading your post, I'm curious to know what's the current check-in process for your guest? It's so nice to read that you're taking your guest feedback into account and looking for solutions. 🌻

Smart locks have been a hot topic here in the community , so I wanted to share these related conversations, for you to explore : Check the conversations here .

 

I'm also inviting a few more experienced Hosts who had previously discussed about best smart locks if they can help us here : @Nur785 @Christine3142 @Dave-and-Deb0 @Margaret491 @Bronwyn100 😊

@Bhumika,

 

At our Atlanta rentals, we have the same setup as @Debra699, a Schlage Encode smart and we assign the last 4 digits of the guest's phone number as the door code. The things that I like most are that it doesn't require a separate wifi gateway and the keypad is not separate from the lick.  These two features save on additional batteries and electricity   I prefer not to integrate our locks with Airbnb to maintain control of when (or if, in situations where guests haven't completed all of the booking  requirements). 

 

 

Don't just believe what I say, check the Airbnb Help Center

Do keep us posted @Valbona8 on which smart lock you eventually choose and the factors you consider in selecting it! It will help many Hosts referring to this discussion! 🌻 

 

Are you thinking of choosing a Schlage smart lock too? Or prefer any other brand?

It's also an Amazon Choice product, I have had it for about a year now with no issues so I thought i'd help folks out. I have had my fare share of trying so many other solutions 😞
