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

  I doubt it. Bump key requires a tool and a skill. The bar is not high but there is one. My understanding is most burglaries are impulse or opportunity. Is something open or unlocked? Can I break it with my boot or a nearby rock?

    Doubt what? A proven issue?

    A bump key requires zero skill and a set of 10 will net you around 90% of current doors. And skill? It’s a 30 second video to watch, if you even need it. You push the key in and turn at the same time. If it works it works, if it doesn’t you move on. Even a trained professional can’t get into every single door, it’s about ease. If it doesn’t work, they move on.

      I doubt it’s used frequently to break and enter.

        It’s used very frequently…. It’s hard to track though since it leaves no trace if done right. Most people would just think they left their door unlocked.

        But of course very few people are going to admit that either.

        I seriously don’t know why I’m arguing with you or why you think that your opinion matters.

        It’s a known issue, simple as that. They are illegal to own without a locksmith license for these things exact reasons.

        Ignore facts if you want mate.
