I’m looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don’t know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

    One way to keep your locks from sounding like they are struggling is to invest in some 1.5V rechargeable batteries. They have a different chemistry than regular rechargeable batteries, but put out 1.5V per battery instead of 1.2V. Like most rechargeables, they maintain the voltage until they die suddenly. I just set a reminder on my calendar to charge them once every two months. They also work well in security systems.
