RE: Trivial Defeat of Smart Locks

Yeah...these smart locks are cool in theory...but there's no real regulation or anything to prevent them from continuing to sell locks they know have huge faults. Of course, they do the same thing with standard locks. Most padlocks are practically useless. They can be easily opened within a few seconds, if that. Keyed locks can likewise be opened easily by someone with YouTube and a set of picks from China. Consumers are pretty much on their own. They gotta do their research and get whatever they think is the best choice.

Of course, most locks aren't really supposed to stop a dedicated attacker, just slow them down, and discourage a few that don't know what they're doing.

It would be nice if they would work on smart locks that are more secure though, because it is a cool concept.
