My sister's new apartment's front door has a "smart lock", hooked up to Ring, naturally. No keyhole, you open it with your phone. It also runs on batteries.
Do I really need to say any more? We were baffled.
EDIT: Correction - there IS a keyhole but the actual tenants don't have access to it. Only the property management. Creepy. :|
"Hello amazon I'm a police, I need you to unlock this door at 123 Rainy St, Arlen TX 76043"
"Ok Mr. Police right away!"
Sounds great!
I've seen landlords put these things on doors, too, and use them to allow entrance to anyone they think has a reason to be inside, whether the resident knows and consents or not.
Actually, yeah, I edited above but it did have a little keyhole: Except the management office said it was for themselves alone.
That's just...eegh...
