I'm looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don't know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!

I've purposely stayed away from electronic locks as I don't see any added security from them and they may even harm security.

I disagree. My locks have a keypad, so I can give out codes to friends & family that I can control and revoke. If I gave them a key, they could copy it, lose it, etc.

When I set my alarm for the evening, the script will shut the garage doors if they are open, and lock all the locks if they aren't already.

I guess it could be said they can be hacked. But as someone mentioned above, regular locks can be picked. Back up your locks with a nice security system.
