Cool, but I don't understand $1,300 locks. If somebody can breech a permitter and actually physically get to the door I think maybe you should allocate resources elsewhere.


These locks are frequently meant to keep out / track people you already pay to be inside a physical perimeter.


They are also in some heavy duty data centers in Las Vegas..except that company uses armed guards in combination with the locks.


Are you allowed to shoot someone for trying to unlock your data center's door?


Some private security services are deputized law enforcement, so, potentially, yes.


Getting into buildings and 'breeching the perimeter' is actually ridiculously easy, even in high security facilities.

Getting into a locked room with no drop ceiling and no faked credentials is pretty damn hard (unless, of course, they're using this lock, heh).
