Get one. It has to be much harder for someone to hack your smartlock than it is for someone to actually physically pick it.

Depends on your priorities. If your primary concern is security, it is 100% GC flame. But if you are looking for greater convenience, I suppose it is possible that smart locks are an improvement in this regard. I don't know if they live up to this potential.

If you want increased security, the number one thing you can do is install a good quality door reinforcement kit. Properly installed, such kit will increase the time needed to break through a door significantly.

we just bought this house and want to change locks just to be safe, so figured i'd look into smart locks. you think it's worth it if i have to replace locks anyway?

link to a good door reinforcement kit?

Why do you really need "smart locks" anyway?

my key works well and I always know when I've locked my door.

what if they figure out how to hack it?

it'd be nice to not have to fiddle with keys when hands are full

would be nice to lock door from bed if i'm unsure if i locked it

would be nice if my parents/family can get in if we're not home

That will not make your door impenetrable by any stretch of the imagination, but it will increase the number of kicks or shoulder slams necessary to get through from one to 4 or more. That is a huge improvement and could easily tilt the situation to your favor.

If you want to learn all about locks, this guy is entertaining:

when the North Koreans hack your lock, they won't use it to unlock and rob your house. They'll use your lock to attack and bring down important websites and pieces of infrastructure.
