    I dunno what’s wrong with their lock, but I use eneloops on my lock and I swap the batteries probably 2-3 times a year

      I’ve had to replace our batteries in our code lock a couple times in 6 months, but I use rechargable batteries so and just swap it out

  In most cases when something is convenient you’re giving something up for that convenience.

    And that something ironically at times can be convenience.

    yes, I have to change the batteries once a year

    and in my case because my ex chose the wrong lock and I can’t be bothered to pay to swap it out, I also have to deal with a touchscreen instead of buttons
