Should I get a smart lock for my house or is this 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. |

Date: May 21st, 2018 7:19 PM Author: Costumed native half-breed 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? |

Date: May 21st, 2018 7:23 PM Author: emerald den 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.
