Sure, a good lock on it's own is obviously not the answer to all security matters but it's where security starts. You add from there. If you don't care to address the other security vulnerabilities as a way of justifying using shit locks, well.....ok.
A good lock, halfway decent door (not even an actual security door) with 3" screws into the wood, and laminate glass on the ground floor is a night and day difference in a level of security from nothing.
Irrelevant red herring.
You can buy keypad and smart-home type high security locks. Or you could just have them keyed the same. Or you can even have the locks keyed differently, and with Mul-T-Lock MT5 keys you can have each side of the key programmed for a different lock as a sort of limited masterkey, per se, and keep general keys with access to only the guest house or house for other people (that way they can't get into your shop, or whatever the setup might be).
Sounds like you're trying to disparage Option B in order to justify you going with Option A. Pretty standard for Rob_S. They're not "super internet locks", they're actual real products used successfully by real people for actual security. It's not a false sense of security, as much as you want to say it is in order to make yourself feel better about using the Jimenez Arms of locks.
