we just returned from vacation and came home to a slightly ajar door. dont know who came in, how or for how long the door was open. doormen downstairs have the key as does our landlord. now need to change the locks. does anyone have the schlage locks that can be opened remotely so you can let babysitters/cleaners in? any recommendations for this type of lock? any feedback would be great. i'm so upset here and want it changed asap! thanks!

[ Reply | More ]If only the doorman and landlord have a key, why change the lock? Might you have left the door open by accident--shut it, but not quite enough to latch? Or was it a deadbolt?

If anyone has a key there is always the possibility of an inside job. With long time employees there is sometimes a casual atmosphere and an opportunity for the wrong person to somehow have access to the keys. If they know you're on vacation watch out.
[ Reply | More ]I live in a coop and its a requirement of my bldg too. And? My apt, my rules. WHen I was renovating another apt in same bldg they routinely pranced in w/out permission, claiming they needed to check up on it. Really? I live one floor down and they still never asked or notified me. New apt: I kept "forgetting" and they stopped asking. If they need to break down the door for an emergency I'll gladly pay for a new door. That is extremely unlikely to happen. Meantime -- NO KEY.

Your building should get a key security system that automatically logs each time a key is taken out. There are biometric systems that know which staff member took out the key and when it was returned - this is a powerful deterrent against any foul play. Two systems I know of are KeyLink by BuildingLink and KeyTrak.
