We’ll Say Goodbye to These 36 Usual Things Soon

5. House keys

House keys are still used by many, but there are advantages to changing to locks with numeric codes that open the door once the correct numbers are punched in. For example:

• There are no keys that can be lost, stolen or forgotten.
• Homeowners can set up a temporary code for a worker who needs access, then delete it the next day.
• Kids can memorize a simple code and no longer have to worry if they lose or forget a key.
• Vacationing homeowners can pass on the code and allow a neighbor to check on a home without needing to hand out an extra physical key.
