Smart Locks and Lockboxes: The New Standard in Property Management

In the fast-moving world of property management, outdated key systems just don’t cut it anymore. Manual handoffs, expensive rekeying, and unreliable access coordination waste time and money, and leave too much room for error. 

That’s why smart locks and lockboxes have quickly become the new standard. Whether you manage single-family rentals or multi-unit properties, modern access tools like electronic lockboxes offer an efficient, secure way to manage entry across your portfolio. The result? Less hassle, more control, and a better experience for tenants, vendors, and your team. 

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Key Management 

Let’s face it: physical keys are a pain to manage at scale. From lost keys to after-hours lockouts, every access issue is a potential headache. And the costs add up fast. 

For example, rekeying just 250 single-family homes one time per year could cost over $37,500 annually. Add in staff time for coordinating self-tours and vendor visits, and you’re looking at another $12,500 a year in inefficiencies. 

In a competitive industry where tenant experience matters more than ever, these legacy systems just aren’t sustainable. 

Smart Locks and Lockboxes: Your Access Game Changer 

Enter smart lockboxes and digital access tools—designed to put you back in control. 

With Keynetics’ SentriGuard® and Access+ systems, property managers can grant and track access remotely, with time-restricted codes or app-based permissions. No physical handoffs. No duplicate keys floating around. Just fast, secure, trackable access for tenants, contractors, vendors, and staff. 

Whether you’re managing move-ins, scheduling maintenance, or offering self-guided tours, smart access simplifies the process and strengthens security. 

Use Cases Built for Real Property Managers 

Our customers are already seeing the impact: 

  • Self-touring made easy: Let prospects tour properties on their own for time-based showings using secure, single-use FlexCodes® or mobile device access. 
  • Vendor and contractor access: Grant access windows without ever being onsite—then track who entered, when, and how long they stayed. 
  • Hassle-free move-ins and transitions: Reduce rekeying costs with mobile-managed locksets and reusable access permissions. 

These aren’t just convenience features—they’re money savers. For one property manager, our lockbox system can potentially deliver a 113% ROI, saving over $28K annually on a 250-home portfolio. 

Flexible Access, Seamless Integration 

The power of Keynetics doesn’t stop at hardware. Provide property access using the most secure and modernized methods, like mobile access directly through the app or through FlexCodes.

With FlexCodes®, you can generate unique, time-specific codes for any user—contractors, inspectors, leasing agents, even prospective tenants. Each code is fully trackable and expires automatically. And thanks to our API toolset, our platform integrates smoothly with your existing SaaS systems, so you don’t have to rebuild your tech stack from scratch. 

It’s flexibility that adapts to your operations—not the other way around. 

A Higher Standard in Property Access 

Security, simplicity, and long-term savings. That’s what you get when you upgrade to smart locks and lockboxes. With weather-resistant, long-life hardware, mobile access, and enterprise-level data tracking, our system is built for scale and reliability. 

At Keynetics, we believe better access is better business, and we’re here to help you make the switch.
