We are doing wireless door locks on internal classroom doors (no external doors) with little fanfare so far (almost two years, slow rollout in a few buildings thus far). ASSA ABLOY locks, 802.11n with 11c expected (sometime) and 802.1X. I'm not thrilled, and laid out the risks clearly, yet still here we are. But they are working fine.

I'm against this idea for too many reasons to list (technical & security-based), but I'm curious to hear perspectives from the community. Has anyone deployed or had to support a wifi-based door lock system? What's been your experience? On the flip side, have you successfully fended off a push for wireless door locks? If so, do tell... :) Thinking back to Lee's recent drone discussion... perhaps I can get administration interested in drone surveillance instead of wifi door locks. That's an idea I could get behind...
