I'm looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don't know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

I'm sketched out by those, I just stick with pick resistant old-school locks.

BosnianBill & the Lockpicking Lawyer have both proven to the world that this is not true.

They're definitely not pick proof, but they are harder to pick than basic locks. There's no such thing as perfectly secure, but you can still try to make things more of a hassle for criminals to get through in the hopes that they move onto an easier target or the extra time it takes them to get in might get them caught. Motion activated lights and cameras are also a good idea.
