if there wasn't a key how on earth would you open it if the battery died? with no key hole, even a lock smith would only be able to get past it by totally destroying the lock! while any key lock can be picked, a door lock tends to be more secure than a $5 pad-lock!
Wiring to AC power would make this a much more complex install
@dickcheney6 well it depends on the situation deadbolts are easy to pick, padlocks can be opened with shims very easily unless the company made an anti-shim and you would need bolt cutters which would be harder to sneak by if you were trying to do something illegal.
@ccc123abc123 Yeah, but if there wasn't a key, then if the battery dies, the only way through would be to totally destroy the lock by drilling it. With the key, yes it is no more secure than a traditional deadbolt (unless the key part is designed to be extra secure against picking) but it provides a way for the homeowner (or a locksmith) to manually override the lock on the outside without damaging it, should the batteries die. The code is for convineince, not extra security
@ccc123abc123 Also consider that unless the burglar is very good at picking locks, or unless the lock is a total piece of shit, they would probably end up fumbling around for longer than it would normally take for someone to get in with a key. If someone saw a person standing in front of a locked door doing jiggling motions, that *may* arouse suspicion. The robber would have to be careful and not be seen by someone before they get in, or do it very quickly which takes a lot of skill.
ummmm...frying that lock with a microwave gun wont open it. And thats besides the fact that microwaves wouldnt even harm the electronic components. Only Electromagnetic waves do that. What the hell IS a microwave gun?? lol You making crap up.
I'd like to see all these haters post a video response for once. Let's see YOU bump key the lock geniuses.

Everyone please stop complaining that it is still easily picked. The idea they are trying to bring across is the convenience of not needing a key

Easily beaten once again. You could teach a 10 year old to pick lock it.

no need for a microwave gun, a 'C' pick and a tension wrench will take care of it in a jiffy.
