Smart lock alternative (Thought) (electric strike)

This is what threw me. I thought you were talking about a Magnetic lock which is a common commercial security item, but would definetly need some forethough if it were to be applied in a residential application, not an electric strike - The posted thread has some helpful information in it.

Since it’s for your home Make sure you use Fail Secure, so when you lose power your door isn’t unlocked.

Fail safe operates the opposite, it’s only locked when power is applied.
