Prefer Keypad Codes: Use electronic smart deadbolts that allow unique PINs for domestic employees. Avoid distributing physical master keys that can be copied.
Audit Logging: Digital locks allow homeowners to monitor timestamps of arrival and departure without intrusive camera surveillance in private living quarters.
Valuables Security: Store banking documents, passports, prescription controlled substances, and fine jewelry in a locked safe or private secured room.
