RemoteLock 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)

Great fit

Sweet spot for RemoteLock — enough units to justify the subscription and automation pays for itself in time saved.

Why it fits you

  • Automated code generation through PMS integration eliminates manual key management across 5–20 units
  • Single dashboard provides real-time visibility across all properties
  • Hardware flexibility lets you match lock brands to different property types

What might bite you

  • Reported hardware reliability issues could mean ongoing replacement costs at scale
  • Support responsiveness may be frustrating when locks fail at multiple properties

Best-for-you alternatives at this size

  • 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 $169.99 • 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

  • Igloohome Okay fit — consider alternatives

    Works for mid-size operators but bridge costs and limited platform integrations add friction at scale.
