Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the response, we are using the same Stanley/BEST software but
we are using it in an offline way (I forgot to mention that the software
was designed to be used online but it can be used in offline
mode....which I wouldn't suggest). I know Joe just mentioned wireless
door locks, does anyone have experience with these (setup, cost,
maintenance for Locksmith, usefulness etc...)
Thanks!
