To answer those thorny questions, we consult the ANSI and BHMA standards bodies, both of which provide ratings about the long-term physical capabilities of a lock. But what do those ratings mean, and why doesn't every lock manufacturer use them?
Let's dig deeper.

Understanding ANSI ratings
ANSI, the American National Standards Institute, is a nonprofit organization that dates to 1918(!). It represents hundreds of thousands of companies and manages standards for a vast array of products, ranging from the size of a piece of paper to the way nuclear power plants should be cooled.
This story is part of TechHive's in-depth coverage of the best smart locks.

What sets these chips apart is the incredible combination of power and efficiency - even amongst stiff competition from the latest generation of MacBooks and x86 Windows devices. Workers with high-powered laptops are used to having to plug them in regularly to maintain battery life and enjoy strong performance, but the latest generation Snapdragon laptops do things differently. With Windows on Snapdragon, you get incredible battery life with sustained performance even when unplugged, for a truly untethered, high-performance computing experience.
These are the kind of laptop devices which let your workers stay productive for longer, wherever they are, without constraint. Most laptop owners are used to staying near a charger for maximum performance and expect far less than 10 hours of battery life between charges.
