While I agree that the bar is high for smart locks I think that comes down to the promises made by making a lock "smart". Good software security should make a smart lock safer than even some of the best traditional locks. I'll admit my example is poor. A good smart lock wouldn't default to unlocked if electronically fried. I still think it's worth being worried about how easily and discreetly you can vandalize a lock.

Do any smart locks actually do that? That just seems negligent from the manufacturer. To access my apartment building I need to go through two magnetically locked doors, so if the power is off they are off, but I assume that's for safety reasons so you can easily get out in an emergency. I was under the impression smart locks just exposed the normal locking mechanism on the inside.
