Re: US z wave kit in UK?

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure about the security of the other option - kwikset. Plenty
of YouTube videos showing how easy it is to pick the keylock part of the
device in seconds but I guess that's true of most traditional locks?

My thoughts are that a wireless/electronic only (ie no key) system has to
be more secure than a traditional lock???
