The door has a Schlage smart lock. Heads up: the door has a tight weather seal, so pull and hold the door toward you while you enter the code (and while you press the lock button on the way out) until it clicks. Never lock the screen gate, you can lock yourself out. Your unique door code is sent to you by email or text message on the day of arrival.
