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: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
