I think the real issue here is 'does it actually make it more secure'? I mean, there's plenty of other ways someone can enter a house without using the door. Even if they have to go through it there's ways to enter that don't even deal with the lock at all (such as breaking the frame). While someone can pick a lock I'm sure it either won't be long or won't be too hard to learn how to use some software to do the same with a keypad. Worse, if I give my friend the keys to get into the house one day he can enter and leave and give me the keys back. But if he knows the code I have to either change all the codes after or accept that he can just come and go as he wishes. While he's my friend and all I don't feel that's a level of access I'm comfortable with. Finally what if I forget the code? I mean, sure, keys get lost all the time and nothing's saying I can't write it down somewhere (similar to a backup key) but, after all that, does it really make my door THAT much more secure? I feel like, at least with a keypad, there's too many weaknesses it shares with old-fashioned key doors to make it worthwhile.
