This is a great explanation of the wonder that is a smart lock. We installed our first smart lock nearly ten years ago when our granddaughter (who was a teen at the time) kept loosing her door key. After the third replacement key we went with the smart lock and have never looked back. We also have a special code set up for our house cleaners who come every two weeks and that code works only on the day they are scheduled.
