Typical day except for the fact that I had some maintenance to do.  We had some guests just open the door and walked in.  Behind them was another guest who was looking for a room but he walked in as well.  We have a coded lock on the front door and it automatically locks about 5 seconds after the entry code is used.  The second guest called Chris and he texted us about someone in our parlor.  We were already on our way as we saw a car but didn’t hear anyone ring the Ring doorbell.  It was an interesting night.  We got everyone registered and eventually figured out the full story.  Before this, I tried to get the door to lock.  It would not accept the lock code and it would not do a factory reset.  Fortunately we had a spare in the storage room so I had to change out the entire lock and reprogram it to the existing codes.

The story was that the first couple just opened the door.  They didn’t have to use a code.  The door was unlocked.  It was a good thing we discovered this now and not later.  It could have been malfunctioning for a few days but we will never know.  Just what I wanted to do on a Sunday evening.
