1. A method of operating a door system, the method comprising:
sensing, with a sensor of a lock, a user on an exterior side of a door panel in physical propinquity to the lock such that the lock transitions from a sleep state to an active state;
authenticating the user when the lock is in the active state before converting the lock from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration, authenticating the user includes receiving an authentication signal from a remote device on the user in physical propinquity to the lock; and
converting the lock from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration in response to receiving the authentication signal.
