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