I have a few sneaky tiptoeing but loveable miscreants as part of my family and I would like to keep them out of my office. I’m sure some of you can relate.
My problem is that most of the locks I’m finding are big, heavy, super-secure deadbolts. I don’t care about the actual security, I just want a simple interior lock that I can open with a pin/NFC/fingerprint and also log entry and exits in HA. Does anyone know of a lock that’s more “lightweight” than the common options. After all, if they make it into my office there will be evidence all over in the form of fingerprints on the window of my PC case! :-D. I just need a mild deterrent.
The wife already nixed a motion sensor turning all the lights red and triggering horror movie sounds.
If you don’t need a good lock, any smart lock will do. Just watch the videos by the Lockpicking Lawyer on YT. Those “smart” locks are rather horrible. For most, you don’t even need lock picks.
Tbh, all locks are horrible in the hands of an experienced picker…

And burglars normally don’t even bother with a lock, they look for another way in.
