If you ever have serious work done on your house, it requires letting contracts in for weeks. If you're not home, you need to leave them a key outside where dozens of people likely have access to it. I always change my locks afterwards, but a digital solution would be pretty nice.
- JohnFen 4y agoI don't know. I think a lockbox would be a cheaper and easier solution for that use case.
- rcme 4y agoHow would that solve the problem? Any of the workers could take a picture of your key and recreate it later.
- JohnFen 4y agoPerhaps I misunderstood the problem you were talking about. I thought it was leaving a key unprotected. A lockbox resolves that, by restricting access to the key to people who know the lockbox combination. You mentioned rekeying the lock after the work, so I assumed that key copying wasn't the issue as you found a solution for that.
- rcme 4y agoRekeying the lock is the main issue. It costs money and then you need to redistribute keys to anyone who has one (other family members, nanny, cleaner, etc.)
