When access control locks get personal

Had a client who thought their electronic key fob was magical. They kept insisting it could unlock their car from the other side of the parking lot, but they only had a standard range! We had a good laugh about it; maybe it’s time for some basic tech education along with the installation.

, that sounds frustrating! I once had a similar situation with a key fob that was supposed to unlock a gate from way too far away. Turns out it only worked from about 15 feet, not the 50 the client had in mind.

I once had a similar experience where a client thought their fob could open a gate from the other side of the parking lot too. It’s funny how people can overestimate the range; I always recommend making sure to test the limits before assuming it’s magical. Maybe showing them the range during installation could save some confusion later.

It’s wild how some folks think their fobs can do way more than they can! I had a client swear theirs could unlock their car from halfway across the mall parking lot; turns out, we had to recalibrate it because the battery was weak… A quick battery check could save everyone some time and confusion, right?
