LOcked OUt!

[LOST6200]

So I was locked out agin form the workro9om, due to forgetting the key. I wasted the whole eveeenging with nothign to do. @#%^!

I was rembering about 20 years ago those electrconics key pads wre poopular. Do they stuil exist? Has abnyone insatklled one in place of a standard indoor keted knob? What happensd if the battery dies or is there some failsaef? Thank s for advice.

They tend to have a key to fall back to. Samples.

At work we use RFID sensors. Useful, but still very easy to forget/lose.

Yes, and then you have to get a loaner from Security - what a PITA.

We use badge readers + fingerprint scanners at work.

I think a keypad would be a very bad idea given your tendency to make lots of typos. You would have to spend all night trying to get in.

At least everything you have a key to doesn't have to be re-keyed. A past place made you pay for it if you lost your keys more than once, it was over $1k.

I don't work in a high security area. The data center and document control areas are off limits, but boring areas to be in anyway. Locking the computer in the heavy duty cabinet every night is enough for now.
