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

I worked for a company that desighed home security devices for a few years… Pretty much everyone i talked to agreed there is only 1 actually good security device that is an effective deterrent. Its called “Large Scar Dog”. Every other device is there just to notify you that all your shit is soon to be or already gone

Ive always wondered what happens if the battery dies, do you still need to carry a key in case that happens

  Usually there is a warning that the battery is dying well ahead of it actually being dead. You unlock it and then it starts beeping at you. It keeps doing that until you either change the batteries or it eventually dies. But you have to do a lot of ignoring for it to die on you. Many do have key backups to though.

  A few have external terminals to charge them when they die.
  
  I have a 9v battery stashed in a flower pot next to my door for when it happens.

    I hope there is a replacement replacement. Life deserves recursion.

Most dogs are fine if you just carry treats and act polite. I’ve seen plenty of dogs just let intruders in because they were kind to them.

  So…you were the intruder, right?
