I hope I can get some interest in this old thread. I am very new at this and it seems even more true now than when it was posted that high tech stuff is taking over. I don't want to start any discussion about the locks themselves in the wrong forum, I hope people will be willing to address the idea without saying anything they shouldn't to a noob.

Im guessing any discussion around hacking rfid based locking systems is reserved for the advanced sections? Its a shame because like a few of you I have a hacking background and this stuff really interests me.

From a residential standpoint, I don't see any real advantage to electronic locks.

That's why I have an electronic security system. My locks discourage people from entering. I rely a lot more on my security system than I do my locks.

One reason I don't believe mechanical locks will ever go away:

Electronics need electricity, and mechanical locks don't.

When electricity isn't available, the electronic lock can't properly do it's job. You still need a manual way to open a door.

Plus the general public are afraid of change. I know people who are afraid of online banking and still prefer to go to a branch. Its the same with electronic locks. Its almost like they dont trust technology. Plus for now its heaps more expensive.
