Do any locks prioritize access control, but not security? (lemmy.world)

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.

To be real...kind of all of them. All the "smart" locks you see for sale are WILDLY insecure at the consumer level.

You are correct that almost all of them focus on the deadbolt, but look at something like this. I kind of hate this company, but they make components as well as entire lock systems.

I have no idea if they work with HA or not, just giving you a jumping off point to familiarize yourself with the options and terminology to have a deeper search.
