We start work on the pool at our vacation rental property tomorrow. We are going to need a “childproof” self-locking gate, and I would prefer to have the lock on z-wave so I can program it with the same codes as the locks in the six individual condos (schlage lever sets).
You’d probably have to use a Schlage/Kwikset/other lever lock and have a spring loaded door that closed hard enough for the lock to engage again. You’d also have to disable the buttons on the backside (interior) so the only way to temporarily unlock the door would be to enter a code on the keypad and have a large enough plate on the door so people can’t reach through the gate to operate the interior lever which would always be unlocked or openable.
