The flip side of owning mechanical locks is someone like the Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube makes it seem easy to defeat a mechanical lock in under 5 minutes.
The point of mechanical locks is not absolute security, it’s to be more work to break than any alternative.
Honestly I just want a few grams of explosives in my lock, wired so that they kill anybody attempting to pick the lock. Passive defenses are never enough.
The goal of all security methods is not to make breaching them impossible (since that can't be achieved), it's to make breaching them so expensive that it isn't worth what would be gained by doing so.
