Old digital locks can stop working for several reasons. Here are some common issues:
Battery Depletion: Many digital locks rely on batteries for power. Over time, these batteries can lose their charge, leading to malfunctions. If the lock has not been serviced or the batteries haven't been replaced, it might stop working.
Wear and Tear: Mechanical components, such as the locking mechanism or keypad, can wear out over time due to frequent use. This wear can cause parts to break or malfunction.
Electronic Failure: The internal circuitry and electronic components of digital locks can degrade over time. This can be due to exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, or simply age.
Software Issues: In some cases, old locks may not be compatible with newer systems or technologies.
Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures, humidity, or exposure to elements can affect the performance of digital locks. For example, freezing temperatures can cause electronic components to malfunction.
Physical Damage: Accidental impacts, forceful handling, or intentional tampering can damage the lock.
Regular maintenance, including replacing batteries, checking for firmware updates, and inspecting the lock for physical damage, can help extend the lifespan of a digital lock.

Hello from Ocean Bali Spa
Hello everyone, my name is Yana I’m originally from Bali. I’ve been living and working in the area for 7+ years now. I was known as Tiwi and I was a professional massage therapist/ beautician working in one of the finest establishments in St Heliers.
Now I have Ocean Bali Spa at 287E St Heliers Bay Road and have been enjoying being part of this vibrant and supportive local community. It has been so rewarding to meet and help so many people with their aches and pains or just enabling them to enjoy a relaxing massage or rejuvenating facial.
