Hello Lemmy!
I have moved to a walkable area and no longer need to have my car keys on me all the time. My landlord has put in a crappy 4 digit combination style door lock, but said I could change it.
What is the best kind of keyless door lock that I can use instead? Ideally one with decent enough security to be as good or better than a key?
Thanks for your input!

As my father would say “locks keep honest people honest”
I know most aren’t great—that’s why I’m asking for suggestions here.
Replace “most” with “all of them” and you’ll get somewhere… I have still to find one I’d be using, and so far I’ve only found crap and worse crap.
So what is the best way of securing a door without spending thousands?

Good advice. Thanks. 🤝
Oh, it does work. It saves the lock from being picked if a sharp kick does the job ;-)
This is a high quality lock that will not be picked, either by a thief or a locksmith. Don’t lose your keys!
It is expensive but far less than the thousands you mentioned. Of course without armor to prevent kicking down the door, the best lock in the world won’t help you, so installing some armor would be a good thing to do.
