If this were a system controlling a complicated device, perhaps.

In this case, we're talking about a door and a sliding lock. A mechanical design would not have had any of these failure states. All the system needed, was to connect the locking switch to the physical door lock, and none of this would've caused a problem.

If you're automating something as simple as a door lock, you need to be able to deal with this stuff. If you can't, stick to what works instead.
