This article is bad, and you should feel bad.
I'm sorry, you misspelled "fantastic, and you should feel fantastic."
This is not how "in defense of" articles work. And yes, it was bad.

Pretty much spot on. So glad I still have a door key - don't know why I'd rather use a keypad.
I would LOVE to use a keypad if that were all that it entailed; the convenience of never getting locked out of my room being the paramount reason. But calling these new locks "keyless" is a misnomer as they still require a key - your prox - and a code. I've already had the misfortune of leaving my prox in my room, and it's quite frustrating knowing that an electronic lock - which should be smart enough to have a second way to authenticate myself as the occupant - was all that stopped me from getting in. Surely there must be some way to allow, say, a 16 digit code (which could be accessed - via a phone or friend's computer - on the housing website as PINs are) to open the lock as a backup.
Wait, pardon the uninitiated alum, but if you type in your code incorrectly, you immediately have to go to New South to get some kind of replacement card? You only get ONE chance to type in your code correctly?!
From another alum... no. You get to keep trying while the lock constantly beeps at you to tell you how wrong you are.
You wait five seconds for the lock to stop beeping and then try again, and it works
One of the best articles I've read in a while. Great writing style!
