We have been going with the leave a key out method for the past couple years and about once every 6 months I forget to set it out before I leave. The wife calls me in a frantic about running back home to let her in. She is trust worthy so I think giving her a key is the way to go. Anyone got any horror stories from the giving their key to the maid?

No but she has her own code to the smart lock and I can see exactly when it is used. Upgrade.

I don’t lock my doors and we’re not here when the maid shows up.

If you're that worried, switch one door to a smart lock

I have a Meross remote garage door opener that I can open with my phone. I get a text when they're here and open the door for them.

Just get a deadbolt with the keypad. It's been great for the maid and the kids when they get off the bus. No more lost keys.



But thinking of switching to these bluetooth ones

Our housekeepers have their own code to our key less entry lock on the side of the house. They do not have their own key

No, they just have to check in with the guards at the south gate entrance.

My maid has a house key, I buy her a new car every 3 years, and I take her to dinner 2-3 nights a week. I also give her a good dickin any chance I get. She seems happy.

its not about trusting the maid with the key, its about the maids brothers, sisters, cousins, and other family, that can get that key and make a copy.

get a realtors key lock box and hang it on the back door for her and give her the combination. that way you no longer have to remember to leave a key. that or get a security system you can lock or unlock the doors from your phone when the maid shows up and leaves

She has the garage code that has an internal door that can be deadbolted, inside door is left open on days she comes.
I also have outdoor cameras and a safe inside for valuables. She's here illegally so I doubt she's willing to risk it all to steal an Xbox or some cheap jewelry
