Smart lock keys are usually “emergency override”
Keys are designed as a backup access method, not the primary method like traditional locks.
If you need more keys
- Choose a setup that supports a replaceable cylinder (where applicable)
- Use a locksmith for keyed-alike systems across doors
- Rely on PINs for guests to reduce key distribution
Rental best practice
Use scheduled PINs for guests and keep the mechanical key as an emergency backup only.
