I was honestly expecting mine to be like that, and was pretty annoyed when it was just outright dead.

- zaroth 4y agoThis doesn’t make sense… how are they running power to the door lock? I would have guessed that these devices always run on battery don’t they?
- bombcar 4y agoIf it’s a commercial building it’s easy enough to run power through a special hinge.
- michaelt 4y agoFor buildings with 'heavy duty' entry systems, power to a powered lock can be hooked up through a 'door loop' [1] on the secure side of the door. Or you can put the electronic lock in the frame of the door, as an electromagnet or an electronic strike [2]. The door to a residence, personal office or hotel room might only need to open 10x per day and so can be battery powered - but the main entrance to an office building might open 1000x per day, so wired power is the right choice there.
