How we review
Specs and prices checked against manufacturer pages and retailer listings on the day we publish, and re-verified monthly.
Every lock is judged against its closest rivals on the things that matter: key backup, dead-battery plan, weather rating, real install effort.
Reviews end with “buy it if / skip it if” — a straight answer. When we have not done a hands-on install yet, the review says so.
