Weighing keyless smart locks against a classic mechanical deadbolt for your entry doors.

What smart locks add

Smart locks bring keyless entry, temporary codes for guests or contractors, and a log of who came and went. Many still include a physical key as a backup.

Where traditional locks still win

A quality mechanical deadbolt has no batteries to die and no software to fail. Many homeowners choose a smart lock on the front door and standard deadbolts elsewhere.
