    They have a regular backup cylinder that has all the vulnerabilities of a regular lock.

    On top of that they have a bunch of electronics that can be vulnerable.

    I can’t see how it would be possible for them to be more secure unless you’re someone who leaves their keys around a lot and a smart lock would let you not have a key on you.

      They don’t have to have a backup cylinder. The most common kind (Yale doorman) where I live doesn’t have one. If the Internal battery goes out you can plug in a 9V battery from the outside to power it.
