A home is one of life’s biggest investments and adding an impact door with smart lock technology enhances your home security. Smart lock security systems also offer the benefits of peace of mind, convenience, protection, and reduced home insurance premiums. Particularly for short-term rental homes, off-site controls to ensure on-site security is a game changer.  

Understanding Security Needs for Homes and Short-Term Rentals  

Schlage’s smart living technology says goodbye to the days of having to call a locksmith if you misplaced your keys and got locked out of the house. From a host or landlord’s perspective, it’s even better to know there is no exchange of keys; therefore, they can’t go missing. A Wi-Fi-enabled Smart Lock, now available for VistaView’s Entry Doors solves some of the key challenges rentals face. Schlage’s Encode Plus Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt does not require a key. It’s a digital code entry that can be set from anywhere.   

Security Challenges in Your Home

Without a security system, there is limited visibility into your home. But with the ability to control your entry door from anywhere comes the peace of mind of being able to see when your door is unlocked. During home renovation or routine maintenance projects, property owners can create up to 100 unique codes to grant access to people and know who is accessing the building and when.  

Security Concerns for Short-Term Rentals

With a high turnover of guests, you want a digital lever lock that can assign unique codes. Schlage’s Encode Plus Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt can and has a built-in alarm, secure encryption and is the Airbnb-approved smart lock. The digital codes can also be created for specific dates if you only have a rental guest for the weekend. Then generate a new code for the next guest. 

Benefits of Smart Living Technology   

Convenience

Keyless entry can integrate with mobile apps including Alexa, Siri and Google Home, for remote access and monitoring. It also saves money on operational costs by eliminating the need to cut new keys. With a few taps of your fingertips, you can set a new code for the smart lock security system for your next guests from anywhere.   

Reduced Home Insurance Premiums

Since smart tech home solutions like smart locks are considered enhanced security measures, some insurance companies may reward you. According to Bankrate, a smart lock alone isn’t enough to warrant savings, but several security providers have available discounts if it’s integrated with a security system.   

Peace of Mind and Protection  

Peace of mind and protection are two benefits, while not monetary or ease of use, that should not be discounted. Reducing the risk of a potential break-in, theft, or destruction, smart home technology can increase your confidence as a homeowner, and as a landlord it can help to build trust with your tenants.
