    Far too many smart locks that are connected to a deadbolt use an actuator which can be tripped with a powerful magnet. No way would I trust them.

    The LPL would have had to test them for me to trust them.

          I saw at least one where he couldn’t pick it, everyone in the comments was in shock

            I musta missed that one somehow.

            Still, I take him at his word that he makes it look much much easier than it is. And have bought a couple of locks based on his contentment with the quality and pick resistance.

      What I have already works. I added a few security pins and my door will likely be broken before someone picks it. Insurance company will understand if I someone broke something to get in, which is why I’m not entirely made at kwikset.

      Why add more points of potential failure? I’m more concerned someone can get in without me knowing they had.

      I haven’t done a breakdown on smartlocks. I do work with machine locks, you know for safeties. We can make them pretty freaken hard to bypass, but I can.
