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.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
