Physical locks are less hackable than digital locks, right? Maybe not: Boffins break in with a microphone

Agreed. This sort of attack is only useful if you need to get in in a way that doesn't leave much of a trace. Burglars don't care as the burgle will be found out PDQ anyway.

I like low-tech approaches. A photo of the key and knowing the brand/model of the lock will let you make a duplicate. Even a crappy photo can be used to decode a key since having relative distances can be just fine given some key mods.
