I know, which is why it’s not going to be my primary lock.

For someone to bypass my locks, instead of breaking a window, a bunch of things have to come about and they’re all “and” statements.

First, I would have to forget to lock the door, I don’t typically forget, I just get anxiety about it and it can ruin a nice day. With the electric lock I would be content someone can’t just opportunisticly walk in.

And someone would have to want to get in my house enough to put effort into it. They’re breaking a window at this point regardless of the locks. Or they’re testing a neighbour’s door, with only one lock.

And they would have to identify that only the electric lock is active.

And they would have to have the tools/skills to break an electric lock. Along with the skills/tools to break a traditional lock (if they’re both engaged)

If any of those statements is false, I would be no worse off, or better off, with an electric lock. If they want in, they’re coming through a window.

I did think about a Yale as an auxiliary lock, but I’ve run up against it’s advantages (read: locking myself out) more than once. Also, if they can bypass the main lock, they can bypass a Yale, I figure, as it’s a similar skillset.

“All electronic locks can be hacked” is the same statement as “all tumbler locks can be picked”. I’m guessing you still use one though.
