Probably because if the system glitches out and they can't into the room anymore (even with maintenance keys) then they wouldn't ever be able to fix it?

- rcfox 14y agoWhat happens to the lock when the battery dies/the power goes out?
- daeken 14y agoOnce the batteries go out (they're not powered on guest room doors), the lock won't open to keycards anymore. The batteries, though, are on the front of the door just below the handle (see the panel at the bottom, in the story photo) and can be replaced from the outside. Otherwise, it's possible to use the portable programmer's open function to open the lock, if the batteries in the PP are full enough; that's really iffy and has a tendency to not work, though.
