The Secret to Longer Battery Life for Locker Door Locks…

… is not what you think.

Want to reduce battery changes for door locks?

Of course you do.

Frequent battery changes:

Cost you money on batteries. The more batteries you buy, the higher your operating costs.

Take up valuable employee time. Every time an employee needs to change a battery, that’s time and money, plus an interruption to operations. Then there’s the time spent ordering batteries and tracking and receiving shipments. It all adds up.

Annoy your customers. No one wants to wait while management finds and replaces a dead battery—especially not the on-the-go types who use lockers.

Harm the environment. Batteries contain metals that are harmful to human health and/or the environment when improperly disposed of. Recycling is an option but may not always be available. The fewer batteries you use, the fewer have the potential to land in the landfill.

So how can you avoid these battery-related problems? If you do a search for “smart lock battery life,” or “change battery on door lock,” or “reduce battery changes for door locks,” you’ll find answers—but they’re all about batteries. The “expert” advice will tell you to try lithium batteries, or a certain battery brand, or that you’ll have to wait for solar panels if you want good battery life for smart locks (no kidding).

We’re happy to tell you that advice is just plain wrong. You don’t need better batteries. You need better locks.
