I'm not really sure why you need an electronic lock on an airbnb, you're either there to flip the place or you have an onsite person to flip the place, well in large numbers of airbnbs. The ones I can think of that don't need it wouldn't have internet generally. Interested in what you see as the benefit over one of those punch code locks that hold the keys that are like $14 on amazon or a schlage deadbolt for $150.
- greggman 10y agoThe benefit to a code lock for me over a box with a code that holds the keys is there's no key to lose nor any key to forget to return. I don't even have to carry the key when I go out. One less (three less?) things to worry about. I actually locked myself out of the last AirBnb I was at. I forgot the key and while that meant I didn't lock the door to the apartment there was also an automated door to the building. Going out it auto-opens, going in it requires a key. I just sat in front of the building for 30 minutes until someone else opened the door. I've stayed at about 15 AirBnBs, most of them I didn't have to meet the owner. But, also most of them used a lock box with a code instead of just a door code lock.
