This clever collaboration between Hello Alfred and August Locks provides handymen with virtual keys so that they can enter a house to take care of things without the owner needing to be there. While this may sound like a risky situation at first, it's important to note that 'Hello Alfred,' the company providing the services, has a thorough vetting process for all home managers. Whether it is to clean up, fix a leaky faucet or do the laundry, August Locks can provide virtual keys for all "Alfreds."
