How to Share Access with Guests Using Smart Locks in Phoenix
Whether you’re expecting out-of-town family, hosting an Airbnb, or letting a contractor in while you’re away, smart locks make access sharing safe, easy, and trackable.
In a growing city like Phoenix—where short-term rentals, guest houses, and second homes are common—smart lock technology helps homeowners control who comes and goes without ever copying a key.
At Affordable Security Locksmith And Alarm, we help install and configure smart lock systems that are perfect for both everyday convenience and short-term access. Explore our residential locksmith services in Phoenix or follow the guide below to learn how to share access securely.
🔑 Why Use a Smart Lock to Grant Guest Access?
Traditional keys can be:
- Lost or copied without permission
- Forgotten or left behind
- Expensive to rekey after a visit
Smart locks solve these problems by letting you:
- Assign digital codes or app-based keys
- Set schedules for when access is allowed
- Get notifications when someone uses the lock
- Revoke access at any time
👥 Ideal Use Cases for Shared Smart Lock Access
- Vacation rentals / Airbnbs
- Friends or family staying temporarily
- House cleaners, dog walkers, or contractors
- Roommates or short-term subletters
- Teenagers arriving home from school
📲 How to Share Access with Smart Locks
1. Create Temporary PIN Codes
Most keypad smart locks allow you to assign individual PIN codes to each user.
Examples:
- “GUEST123” for weekend visitors
- “CLEAN789” for weekly housekeeping
- “FAM2024” for family staying the week
These can be deleted or scheduled to expire automatically.
2. Share App-Based Mobile Keys
If your smart lock uses a mobile app (like Schlage, Yale, or August), you can send a digital key to a guest’s phone via text or email.
They’ll be able to unlock the door using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, without needing a code.
3. Set Access Schedules
You can allow access only during certain hours or dates—for example:
- 9 AM–1 PM Mondays for a cleaning service
- Friday–Sunday for Airbnb guests
- Weekdays after school hours for kids
4. Monitor Entry Logs
Most smart lock apps let you see:
- Who unlocked the door
- What time they came and went
- Which method was used (app, keypad, key)
This helps keep track of activity and gives peace of mind—especially when you’re not home.
