    Mechanical locks are so easy to break into with minimal tools. My friend that sells security doors uses digital locks for that reason.

      Digital locks that have a network connection are even easier to break into while on the other side of the planet.

        No, they are not. There are terrible digital locks as there are terrible mechanical locks. Good digital locks use sound encryption algorithms that makes them incredibly resilient to attacks. You can have digital locks that are not connected to the internet. Makes no sense to hack a physical door you have no access to anyway.
