Welcome to SmartThings. There are two apps available for locks you should check out. There is a free version from @ethayer > [@\[OBSOLETE\] Lock Manager](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-lock-manager/63022): > > Lock Manager Incomplete List of features: Manage user codes on locks. Manage Keypads. Review and manage active lock codes. Set lock access based on schedules. Receive notifications when a user used their code. Run Hello Home phrases based on lock/unlock events. Manage Hello Home phrases based on keypad inputs. This app works using 3 child apps and 1 parent app. It is recommended that you install all 4 apps, however if you do not use keypad devices, it is not required to install the keypad child app. Note: If upgrading from any beta version, it is required to uninstall the app completely before installing. The architecture of this app has changed in a way that is incompatible with previous versions. How To Install User guide has old information. There is now only one app to insta… There is paid version from @RBoy > [@\[OBSOLETE\] Lock User Management (LUM)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-door-lock-code-user-management-create-delete-and-schedule-codes-with-automatic-lock-unlock-custom-user-actions-and-shm-integration/7043): > > [Lock User Management](http://smartthings.rboyapps.com) (LUM) is a reliable Lock Manager for remotely managing users and locks It works with the standard Z-Wave Lock/ZigBee device handler that comes with SmartThings and works with any lock that supports remote codes.
