Winter Visitor Security Tips
Cape Coral fills up in winter. Here's how to keep visitors and hosts secure.
Extra keys and codes
Winter visitors mean more codes and keys in circulation. Track every one issued.
Smart locks with codes make this trivial; physical keys make it harder.
Rental security
Short-term rentals should rekey or reset codes between guests. This is basic hygiene.
Cape Coral's rental market makes this a busy season for locksmiths.
Storm-season overlap
Storm season can overlap with early winter. Prep locks and hardware for extra visitors during any weather event.
One boarded-up window is one un-checked lock.
Property manager coordination
Property managers should have written policies for how visitors receive and return access.
A minute of planning saves hours of cleanup.
After-season audit
After the winter season ends, audit every code and key issued. Reset or rekey as needed.
