It's not for me. The deadbolt only gets locked when everyone is out of the house. The idea is to make robbing the place discretely harder. Sure, windows remain a weakness, but if a thief enters through the window and cannot open the door, they have to leave via the window too.

    Nice idea :)

    I want to get some kind of smart lock myself, but I can't find one that would adequately replace what I have in terms of security. Basically, the combination of an Australian deadbolt (which can only be opened or locked with a key regardless of which side of the door you're on) and a regular latch, allowing the door essentially to be in one of three states: unlocked, locked from the outside, and locked from both sides. Such a product doesn't seem to exist. They can all be opened by hand on the inside. And I feel this would cause my insurance to go up being less secure.

    "Uncomfy" is obvious, but what does "gen" mean in this context? And anyone know what F/O stands for? I assume it's some stupid "yumeship" version of S/O for significant other.
