Given it's a routing problem, doesn't it matter where your office is on the network with respect to the servers that control the door locks?

You could be in a zone of stability that's not affected by the overall chaos.

Honestly having buildings automatically lock down like this sounds like an absolute worst practice. FB headquarters is in california. What happens when the big one hits? server is killed and no one can get inside and look for survivors? Shouldn't need a functional network connection to be able to open the door of a building, but here we are I guess.

Having all of the locks open due to a failure is a very, very common Hollywood movie scenario.
