I m the sole resident of a second-floor studio apartment. The landlord (R&DE Student Housing) provides exactly one key. No, it can t be copied, and there are no exceptions. Lock yourself out after business hours? You get one free unlocking; after that it s a $45 charge to open your door. Sign out a second key during the day and fail to return it within 24 hours? Your apartment will be rekeyed and they will charge you $141 for the service.

So you re left with two options:

1. Leave your apartment unlocked whenever you leave.
2. Pay the $45 fee whenever you lock your key in your apartment (after the first time).

There has to be a better way, right? Notwithstanding the pervasive persistent pessimism perpetuated by the people who prepare and propagate these policies, I think I ve found one.

It costs less than a rekey, and it comes with a bonus ladder.
