Hello Lemmy!

I have moved to a walkable area and no longer need to have my car keys on me all the time. My landlord has put in a crappy 4 digit combination style door lock, but said I could change it.

What is the best kind of keyless door lock that I can use instead? Ideally one with decent enough security to be as good or better than a key?

Thanks for your input!

It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I would prefer not to. Having nothing but an ID and credit card in skinny jeans is way better than the big bulge of keys.

A single key is as slim as any card...

A single key is also a loss risk if you take anything out of a pocket. I'm always nervous about a single key. And then there's the 'where did that go' when you change without emptying the pockets because its so small you forget its there.

get a key

big bulge of keys.

Unless your SINGLE KEY is as big as a gas station bathroom key brick, you've straw-manned this.

I love in a walkable area. I have my phone, visa card and door key. One of those could be on a cord around my neck.

Pay by phone, who needs a credit card? Some cars have phone keys.

I agree with the sentiment: it would be nicer to only need to worry about bringing my phone. I already have my car key and credit card handled by my phone, so house key is the only remaining thing

You could have said “I don’t have a recommendation for a keyless lock”.
