Not unless you only have one door. My locks are Schlage or Kwikset, and they have no smart features to hack. Four AA batteries, and you can tell when they need replacement because the bolt motor runs slower. I have an attached workshop that is only accessible from its own exterior door, and I keep a house key in the shop. I would have to have three independent locks fail at the same time to get locked out. Batteries last six months to a year.
