Most hotels have deadbolts too… Pretty cool nonetheless. ---

Security in the hotel room is shot to hell when you give minimum wage maids and workers master keys to every room. I’ve never been robbed by a maid, but if a theif really wants in, they just have to show up while the maid is cleaning and shut them up or social engineer their way in. If you’re in the room, put the deadbolt on. Don’t leave anything in the room that you value highly. ---

I know someone with a marker setup and the code to do this. Was playing with it for a project and its fun but the lock breaking methods its using is way above me. I read the white paper on all that and other notices and its amazing.
