However, they're mostly for the reverse. You use the combo until you forget, and then the key gets you in. Non-door knob doors would just be that much more hackable. I'd rather someone need to break something physically (and possibly be noticed) than something they could hack with a long-distance antenna and a car a block away.

More parts. What I would like is a doorknob that also has a numeric code keypad so if you forget your keys/lock yourself out, you can enter your code and get back in. Personally I'd like to do away with door knobs altogether. A bluetooth enabled or voiceprint enabled door would be nice, too. They probably exist; I should look around.
