Not sure if this vid will help you, but it’s real life experience of carrying for someone who has the disease.
Apparently other people have said it’s accurate and helps. I’ve no connection other than following the creator for his excellent technical content.
I’d go with a good quality traditional key lock fitted properly in a good door and frame. Security isn’t a single point task, it depends on many things so think like a bad person and do what you can to make your property a harder target than your neighbours.
A good lock on a bad door doesn’t work, neither does a bad lock on a good door. Everything needs to work together. If you’re likely to lose your keys or many people need access a smart lock may be an idea, but good probably isn’t cheap. If it’s just you and you can keep your keys safe, then I think tried, tested and simple kit is good.
Ultimately though, as ever, it’s your risk assessment based on your needs.
