Are Kwikset Smartkeys as insecure as critics say? Have you had one broken in?

[Johann Jells]

There's lots of pages out there about how easy it is to defeat a smartkey lock, but I can't find any anecdotes of anyone actually getting robbed by a thief doing so. They're a very attractive idea, and and I have a few, but I'm hesitant to go all in. And it's not clear they're any more vulnerable than regular low end locksets which can be picked and bumped, unlike Smartkeys.

Does anyone have any actual info related to this?

I have smart locks and never had an issue.

A well trained person can pick your lock before you can get the keys out of your pocket and unlock your door.  A untrained person can kick your door in a few seconds.

I'm more worried about a quirky issue where your key stops working as I have heard a few talk about issues like that.
