I haven't opened my B&B yet but decided after 25+ years of being a landlord and having purchased numerour locks, rotating the locks or having them rekeyed, I purchased the electronic keypad type. They can be reprogrammed numerous times immediately and also retain a general code for when you are tidying up the room.
Yes, I have to remove the antique door handles but not having to go through changing out locks or having them re-keyed was a plus for me.
I have no idea what L250 is, my keyboard doesn't even type it but it seems outrageous. Takes all of maybe 5 minutes to do with a screwdriver and locks are relatively inexpensive..

250 pounds (Camberley lives in the UK), works out to close to $500 here. I think she does it that way to prevent walking off with the keys. Plus, if you have a hotel, you generally hire this stuff out rather than do it yourself. Both Cambs & the person she mentions have 10+ room places so charging the guest and hiring it out is a lot faster than running to the hardware store, buying the lock,coming back, installing the lock while you're also trying to clean all those rooms and get everyone checked in and out.
