This lock has been available over at ThinkGeek for a few weeks now. The thought of swiping myself into my home just like at work is appealing, but I have some reservations about this particular lock. In this picture from the installation guide, you can see the small housing that attaches to your doorframe, into which the device extends its bolt. That's no deadbolt, fella. It looks like a plastic housing, held by three screws. Compare that statement to this statement: I live in the city.
To be fair, if I were to install this on my condo door, I have the added protection of the security door at the front of the building. But then, where's the fun of keyless entry to my unit if I already have my keys out from opening the security door?
So that's $300 I can spend on comic books instead.
