Consider everyone who lives in an apartment who doesn't have the option of replacing their lock (and I wouldn't really want to anyway... I rather prefer the unchanged external appearance of this product).

IIRC, you can also easily deauthorize users, so it's also the cheapest way I can think of to retrofit something into being a shared space where you want to be able to control access going forward.

It's not the perfect lock solution for every use case, but it's a really cool utility for a lot of purposes.

So .. it stops physical keys from working?

[jessaustin]

No, it doesn't. Presumably the parent is describing a situation in which a temporary guest wouldn't receive a physical key at any time, but would have temporary access through the app.

[Firehed]

No, you just don't give them out in the first place.

I've lived in apartments. Giving other people access to your apartment is - in general - a horrible idea. I let guests into my apartment. Personally. It's a pretty straightforward workflow, believe it or not.
