Guest access You'll enter using a keypad code. Enter your code and watch for a green light on the Schlage button to confirm it's accepted; a red light means the code didn't register - wait 5 seconds and try again. Once the light flashes green, rotate the deadbolt under the keypad away from the door frame to unlock it, then open the door using the handle. When you leave, press the Schlage button, rotate the deadbolt toward the door frame to engage it, and note that the door does not lock automatically - please lock it before you go. If you need help with the lock, there's a video guide available in your check-in materials. Other things to note The home has a smart TV with Netflix - feel free to stream using your own account.
