Every aspect of a well-run multi-family property is, or should be, vetted. Do the systems, procedures, employees and products set the property up for success? The answer should always be a resounding “yes,” right down to the choice in locks. After all, this hardware keeps your residents and their property safe day in and day out. Did you know, however, some locks can return more on your investment than traditional lock-and-key security ever could? It’s true. They are called smart locks. These next-generation security devices allow residents to use their smartphones or smart credentials to open their locks. But there’s more to smart locks than meets the eye. Follow the ROIs:

Return on intelligence. Facility staff can configure, manage and monitor smart locks from virtually anywhere using cloud-based mobile or web apps. This desirable no-tour functionality makes routine chores a snap for facility staffers who no longer need to walk to a resident’s door to deal with lost keys and the like. It can all be safely and efficiently managed from their computer, tablet or smartphone.

Return on integrity. Smart locks increase the safety of a property, while also reducing its liabilities. Look for UL-rated smart locks manufactured by a trusted brand that also meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 requirements.

Return on impressions. The multi-family market is increasingly competitive. More people are moving in. More properties are going up. Separating your property from the pack has never been more important. Smart locks help you do just that. They offer security, prestige and give facilities a modern appeal that just looks good.

Return on integration. Open architecture is key to efficient smart lock design. It gives you the flexibility to select the best available access management software to suit your property’s requirements today and in the future – streamlining the control of doors across the entire property with a single system.

Security has never been so smart or so streamlined. What’s the ROI of your property’s locks?
