We have been using Assa Abloy wireless locks in our newest residences on our 802.1X SSID. The AA batteries do not last as long as advertised. We place Aps in rooms and the lock wireless antenna is on the insode of the door. Obviously, rekeying maintenance is reduced. The locks update once a day. If they see an unknown badge, they check toe server to get a new badge list.
Other than that, be sure to stagger the regular lock scanning times. When we first deployed, they has 600+ locks all trying to hit our management VM-based server at the same time. The server was overwhelmed. With times staggered, the server now handles the load.

How have the door locks been working? Is there a lot of maintenance with your systems? For example battery life, wifi connection problems, broken locks.
