Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

And most dumb locks can also be picked in under 5 minutes. The difference is a smart lock can alert me when someone who isn’t me opens the door or leaves it open. Of course, most burglars are just going to break a window to get in.

There should be a separation between fully mechanical locks with electronic monitoring (ideal) and a mechanical lock with vital electronic components.

  You can get a lot of locks which allows you to connect external mechanisms which can do just that. Don’t know anything ready out of the box, though
