"Fired a facilities manager on a Thursday. By 7 a.m. Friday, Deadbolt had re-cored all 14 suite entries and the server room. The new key schedule was in my inbox before my first meeting. That's the only vendor I've never had to follow up with."

"We manage 340 units across three buildings in the UWS. Deadbolt handles every tenant turnover rekey on a 24-hour SLA. In two years, they've missed the window exactly zero times. That consistency is worth more to me than any price negotiation."

"Our co-op board voted on fob conversion in October. Deadbolt had every resident with a working fob before Thanksgiving — including the three shareholders who lost theirs the first week. The DOB compliance packet they provided made our next inspection a non-event."
