"Flaky lock that only works 20% of the time, if you're lucky. When it does work, takes 3-5 seconds to actually detect fob and lock/unlock. Only good thing about it is it looks good."

Are there really still no RFID/NFC locks available to consumers? I don't want bluetooth, I don't want an app. If offices and hotels can have nice keyless entry, why not homes?

"It locks on it's own all the time, often when the door is still open so then you have to unlock it to close the door. I'll be outside and it locks me out so I have to make sure I either have my phone or keys on me when I go outside in case it locks me out."

"When you use your key fob, instead of immediately going inside your house you have to wait for the lock to chime, play a little song, then rotate the lock. Why can't it play the little song AFTER it unlocks the door?"

That last one is one of the few RFID consumer locks available (that I could find).

An Arduino-based RFID door lock project sounds fun, except for the part about relying on it to let me in and keep others out.
