Smart Locks for Landlords & Property Managers

Every time a tenancy ends you have a decision to make, and both options are bad. Change the locks — a locksmith callout, per property, every turnover. Or don't, and accept that you have no idea how many copies of that key exist. The outgoing tenant hands back two. Were there ever only two? Nobody knows. A key cut at a shop for £4 leaves no trace.

Most landlords quietly take the second option, because the first one doesn't scale. At one property it's an annoyance. At eight it's a real line in the budget and a scheduling headache every time somebody moves out.

Then there's everyone else who needs to get in. Gas safety checks. EPC assessors. Viewings while the current tenant is still living there. A contractor fixing a boiler on a Tuesday. Each one is a key handed over and hopefully returned, or you driving over to let them in yourself.

Access becomes something you grant and revoke from your phone instead of something you physically hand over. A tenancy ends, you revoke the code, and it stops working — that's the re-key done, in seconds, with no callout and no van.

Everyone else gets access scoped to what they actually need. The gas engineer gets a code that works on Tuesday between nine and one. The letting agent gets one for the viewing window. Your regular contractor gets recurring access on weekdays. None of them get a key that works forever, and you can see in the log exactly who entered and when — which matters more than people expect when there's a dispute about damage or a missed appointment.

Across a portfolio, that's all in one account. You aren't logging into eight different apps or keeping a spreadsheet of which code is on which door.

One benefit that doesn't show up in the sales pitch: an access log is evidence. If a tenant disputes when they moved out, or a contractor says they attended and didn't, or there's an argument about who was in the property when something got damaged, you have timestamps instead of recollections.

It's worth telling tenants the log exists — not as a threat, just as a fact. Under UK GDPR you're processing data about when a person entered their own home, so being upfront about it in the tenancy paperwork is both the fair thing and the safe thing. We'll flag this at handover; the specifics are your call and worth a word with your letting agent.

• Supply and fitting across single properties or portfolios
• Access configured per-tenant, with automatic expiry at tenancy end
• Time-limited codes for contractors, cleaners, and viewings
• One account covering every property, in your name
• Access logs enabled and explained
• Handover documentation for your letting file

If you're fitting more than one property, doing them together is meaningfully cheaper and faster than booking them one at a time — we're not paying travel and setup costs per unit, and the account structure gets built once rather than repeatedly.

Properties don't need to be empty. Occupied units just need a time slot arranged with the tenant, which we can work around. Mixed door types across a portfolio are normal and fine — we survey each one and match hardware accordingly rather than forcing the same lock onto every door.

Ask us for portfolio pricing when you get in touch — it's worked out on the number of doors and how spread out they are.
