Narrow by brand
Pick, bump, and drill resistance was praised where discussed, especially around SmartKey protection and claims that the lock resists picking, raking, banging, and drilling.
Pros: Lock/unlock speed, Locking reliability
Cons: Auto-relock after failed attempts, Door compatibility (deadbolt fit)
Pick resistance was praised in reviews that discussed the encrypted cylinder or difficulty of picking the lock.
Pros: Lock/unlock speed, Locking reliability
Cons: Door compatibility (deadbolt fit), Hub requirement
Pick and bump-key resistance was praised because ditching the keyway removed the risk of picking or forced entry with a bump key.

Cons: Weather resistance, Locking motor
Only one review directly tied the lock’s construction to pick/key resistance, saying it would be difficult for a thief to duplicate the key.
Pros: Bluetooth, Hub requirement
Cons: Door-sense, Fingerprint
The hidden keyhole cover was praised as an extra security measure against casual lock-picking visibility.
Pros: Access logs, Value and Price
Cons: Warranty and support, Wi-Fi
Pick-resistance evidence was limited and skeptical, with one reviewer assuming the U100 could still be defeated like many smart locks.
Pros: Lock/unlock speed, Fingerprint
Cons: Keyway quality, Wi-Fi
Pick resistance was criticized by the lock-picking review, which was not impressed with the anti-pick features.
Pros: Weather resistance, User access management
Cons: Locking motor, Remote access
Pick resistance was a weak point, with reviewers citing easy picking and available-tool attacks as a meaningful security caveat.
Pros: Industrial design, Build quality and durability
Cons: Pick/drill resistance (if rated), Keyway quality
