Key Details
When a Simple Keypad Beats a Smart Lock
Smart locks require WiFi, a working app, a charged battery, and an active connection to function fully. For a front door where all of these are routine, smart locks are worth the setup. For a garage side door, a workshop, or a secondary entry that guests use occasionally, the setup complexity and maintenance of a smart lock outweighs the benefit. A simple keypad lock like the Schlage Plymouth works immediately after installation, does not require an internet connection, does not have app updates that could break functionality, and does not require monitoring. For secondary doors where keyless entry is the only goal, simpler is genuinely better.

Bottom Line
