LL Tip: Avoiding Tenant Calls from Lockouts by ERIC on March 6, 2012 @03:22

One way to reduce tenant lockouts is to have a deadbolt with a key, not a locking door knob. Change the door knob to a hall /Closet knob.

That way, you can only get locked out of you had the keys when you left. One of the first things I do when I buy a property is to get rid of locks that can be locked by just closing the door. For some, a knob/deadbolt in a matching set works perfectly. The deadbolt is installed on the residence door, and the locking knob on the garage door.
