A bit about door lock safety.
An often posed question is, aren’t electronic locks unsafe because of the risk of hackers getting access?
Fact is that hacking a smart lock such as August still requires considerably more effort than picking a conventional lock or breaking a window for that matter. Door locks in general in our homes do not guarantee safety and many expensive conventional locks turned out to be easier to pick than more simple and affordable ones. As one experiment with a former burglar showed. That’s why security experts recommend installation of a good alarm system.
