Lockitron is not working out for us. They're backed up and are now saying they can't fulfill our order until after the new year. Even more importantly, our local fire marshal thinks the Lockitron is a TERRIBLE idea. We can't have our door locked while anyone is inside - egress has to be single motion unlatching of a door lever. Since our occupancy with be under 49, she's not requiring a crash bar, but we would not pass inspection with a deadbolt system like Lockitron. SO - I guess I'll use my new Lockitron (if I ever get it) on my door at home. For the coworking space... still trying to figure it out.
