It depends on the lock. Some models will unlock as a safety precaution.
Having 1000 people die in an inferno because a battery ran out is never a good look for a company.
they only lock one way lol
Also, I hate those
ing things. I don't know if they are better else where, or people just don't notice them as much because most people stay at most 3 days in a place like that, but here, in my experience, they are unreliable as
. You get them too close next to a debit card, cell phone, microwave, or even tap it too hard against something and it corrupts the key on the card, and you have to get it re-burned. Literally anything emitting induction, cross talk, or electromagnetic interference within a few inches and they
out. They're
ing worthless.
I stayed in a cheap motel while I was at the end of being homeless for 3 months, and I probably had to get the damn thing re-burned about 2-3 times a week, including the once a week keycode swap. That's 2-3 times too many to walk up to bitchy and unlikable motel front desk staff.
its like "I'm basically living here, just give me a normal key you dumbass so we don't have to keep ruining each other's day"
