No. In case of lost keys, the cylinders can be replaced immediately for a very low cost. Insurance does not require this at all.

The other cylinders can be rekeyed if keys are lost and remain in place.

Motorized lock and especially the eKey. So far, we have unlocked the front door with a key exactly 0 times. For example, when going for a walk, the keyring can stay at home. When traveling by car, the key goes from the drawer to the pocket and back. We consider keyless entry an absolute improvement in convenience.

And you come back from a Sunday walk and, lo and behold, a power outage... Although it happens very rarely or almost never, it is definitely a situation that can occur.

The extra cost for a fingerprint scanner was unfortunately too high for us. Instead, we opted for a double-sided panel insert.

Well, that’s what the battery is for.

Anyone who wants to get in will get in – not only technically but also through social engineering.
Opportunistic thieves can be deterred by making physical access inconvenient.
Keyless entry provides comfort with additional technology.
You really can’t go wrong; trust your instincts.
