Karen from Eastern Bays Mobile Locksmiths Ltd

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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
