John, I'll save you the headache, this should solve the issues as it has with many of us, "typical" repeaters won't improve anything on the locks ....maybe do a video on how this fixed it, probably get lots of views..
Have no idea on your "zigbee" issues, but the zwave problem is generally fixed by adding Aeotec Range Extender 6's to AMPLIFY the weak zwave signal that is only noticeable on secure devices like locks that comes from these hubs.
