Electronic Locks for rentals

I am trying to figure out the best way to handle the keys when renting our place. Being an out of town landlord, I am intrigued by the electronic locks that allow specific timed entrance for each tenant, cleaning crew, etc, while being controlled by the landlord long distance. Anyone have any experience with a system like this, and if so, where would I find one in the SoWal area?

I would love one of these! I will ask about them at the WC rental meeting...can't wait for the response..."we'll look into that" ;-)

That's about all we hear at ours. Just yesterday I was looking through last years meeting (our meeting is weekend after next) and not one of the issues we brought up has been resolved.:idontno:

you just need good board members like me...😀. In my opinion it is also all about the CAM who is in charge and how much work they are willing to do. OTherwise, I have seen that it falls by the wayside.

I called Oracle today. There system is about $569. I have a lockout with 4 doors that would need to be keyed. I would be looking at over $2000 for one vacation home.

They said they would be willing to possibly give some discounts for group purchases. They sell them to the big boys in bulk for $400 a piece.

They said they would be willing to cut a deal somewhere between the $569 and the $400 for bulk purchase.

I have a buddy who has 4 units at my place and I am trying to get him join in with me. The guys is going to give me a quote based on 8 locks. Plus negotiating discount hosting services which have a base price of $14.99 per month (paid annually).

If there is anyone on the fence and we could pool together our purchasing power we could get these units at $400 a piece or below.

My vision is to go to them and say. "We have 20 orders for locks and we are willing to pay $350 each with hosting service of $10 per month". May not happen like that but that is the vision.

If you are interested in purchasing 1 lock system or more can you please respond to this bulletin or send me a private message with the following information.

Qty Desired?
Interest Medium/High/Ready 2 Go!

By the way this is for the Oracle 660

Are there any of these electronic locks that work with the impact exterior doors w/ multipoint lock systems? These lock systems are the ones with one turn of the handle and the locks engage at the bottom/ center/ top. I have not heard of any hardware mfg having these tested w/ Florida Approval Number.

I am not sure about that. I would contact Ilco at the number below.

I am running into issues with the having the same look as this is a Condo Hotel. They have an Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish and Ilco does not have them. There is a min order of 200.
