An electronic lock is not necessarily a connected lock
Schlage's electronic-lock explanation includes products with access codes configured on the local keypad and distinguishes them from connected smart functions. Ask separately about local code operation and remote phone management.

Comparing management capabilities
Check functions through operating scenarios: who can add codes, how unused codes are deleted, whether time restrictions are supported, and where logs are viewed. Record support only when product documentation explicitly confirms it; a screen or app icon does not establish support.
Documentation to retain at handover
Keep instructions and management procedures for the exact model. Assign responsibility for administrator changes and permission removal after people leave. Actual access codes should not be written into a public knowledge base or product description.
