Not to mention: how many % will that go up once some enterprising thieves realize that there's a trivial way to break in to places with obviously too much money (judged by paying $300+ for an insecure lock).

The only saving grace is that the lock isn't easily recognizable from a distance.

This might be far-fetched, but I wonder if more enterprising thieves could wardrive around wealthier neighborhoods and scan for these locks to find easy targets.

4% are known. Who knows how many go without notice?

Electrically moving the bolt is a waste of battery power. The decent locks just engage/disengage the bolt from the latch and let the human do the turning.

That's how my apt door smart lock works. There's no keyway to pick or bump. It's a momentary clutch operated electrically that grabs the bolt mechanism. If you want to force your way in, better bring a big ass drill.

The August is a waste.

Could you share the make/model?
