I had a bluetooth deadbolt. I was able to give my friend a virtual key when he came to visit as I didn't have a spare for the deadbolt.

The key was encrypted based on a username and password and I could revoke it at will. It filled a need for the time he stayed at my place and worked great.

Or you could have visited the locksmith (or your local hardware store with a key department) and gotten 1 or more spares in minutes.


I was at work, he was driving in. I mean it just wasn't worth the hassle an email accomplished the same thing.

If it was my mom, sure then I would have had to do the locksmith route.
