Smart vs traditional lock
Against a good mechanical mortise lock + handle set (₹3,500 hardware, +₹800 fitting). Smart locks cost more upfront and have a running cost; a mechanical lock is cheap, battery-free and fail-safe.
Upfront only. The smart lock also carries ~₹156/yr in batteries.
The 5-year picture
Smart locks run on batteries (typically 4×AA, swapped every 8–12 months). Over five years that quietly adds up — and rarely shows on the price tag.
