Picking a lock is a lot more likely than somebody finding an exploit and hacking your lock. In either case, locks are minimal theft deterrent, not prevention.
Well many smart locks can be exploited physically rather than hacking wise.
On the other hand, flipper zero can probably exploit a lot of 2.4GHz locks.
So can nearly all physical locks you'll find on a house door. The ones nearly everyone puts on their doors are super simple. Most thieves won't bother though, if your lock poses even the slightest challenge they'll go through a window if they really want in.
