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.

Re: Proposed roading upgrades Tamaki

The proposed sounds good. But actually, it is neither environmentally friend nor good for our society.

First, each time before the bump cars have to reduce speed to less than 20 km/hr to make the movement smooth. Very slow speeds are especially necessary with age or unwell people inside the car. After the bump cars have to re-accelerate to keep going. This adds extra car emissions to our environment. A better solution would be to install traffic lights, an easier, safer and more efficient solution.

Secondly, slow snail movements associated with speed bumps upset people. Anxiety, Depression, anger is building up day-by-day. It will explode out at one point.

Therefore, I hope council can reconsider the impact of traffic flow restrictions on daily life, and don’t over increase the number of speed bumps.
