I just replaced by deadbolt that had home automation capabilities. Couldn’t be more confident in my choice.

I’m a locksmith and the only lock with buttons I trust is a simplex. And that’s because it is entirely mechanical.

I haven’t had much experience with them, but they use the same tech as an old abloy lock that my mom has had on her front door for 40 years, in salty and humid South Florida. So that speaks to it’s longevity.
