Schlage for mid-sized portfolios (5–20 listings)
Operators at 5–20 listings, past the solo-host stage but not yet running a full property management company.
Our verdict for mid-sized portfolios (5–20 listings)
Okay fit — consider alternatives
Viable at 10-50 properties if you can manage quarterly battery rotations, but the maintenance overhead starts to add up.
Why it fits you
- No per-lock subscription keeps costs flat as you scale
- PMS integrations through Hostaway or RemoteLock automate code management
What might bite you
- Battery replacements across 10-50 properties become a significant maintenance burden
- RemoteLock bridge adds ~$9/mo per lock, reducing the cost advantage
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- RemoteLock Great fit
Sweet spot for RemoteLock — enough units to justify the subscription and automation pays for itself in time saved.
From $6/listing • No free trial · Solid access control platform held back by hardware reliability and support concerns
- Aqara Okay fit — consider alternatives
Workable for 10–30 doors if you're willing to bridge Aqara to your PMS via a third-party lock middleware, but you'll be doing integration work Aqara doesn't ship natively.
From $169 • No free trial · Affordable, ecosystem-friendly smart locks for hands-on small-portfolio hosts
- August Home Okay fit — consider alternatives
Workable for 6-25 units if door-modification restrictions are a real constraint, but shorter battery life adds up across a larger fleet.
From $149.99 • No free trial · The right smart lock when you can't modify the door exterior
