    This is it. The weakest part of most doors is the door. A sledge hammer will go through a door or window regardless of the lock.

    Smart locks are way more convenient and the ability to grant timed access and unique access controls probably makes them more secure.

        If you’re caught with a lock pick, or sledge hammer or saw all, that establishes intent. You’ll do more time. Of course that’s a huge “if”

            Have you seen the scrap prices for catalytic converters? Also, the best thieves of all time were the ones that stole the catalytic converters from the police vehicles in a certain major city. Other than taxes paying for their replacements, I’m not even mad, I’m impressed with their hubris.
