Nest X Yale installed, so far go good. Very happy with it and easy for kids to use.

My favorite feature of the yale smart lock is the auto lock

I have 3 Schlage Encode locks at home. Love them.

As others said, it's not a tech issue, it's strike plate misalignment, and is a drill and screws issue, not a geek issue.
The deadbolt is tapered to help with misalignment

Forgive the ignorance, has there been research into the “hackability” of these? I’m guessing with names like Schlage and Yale they’ve got it handled?
I’ve started to upgrade my light switches to Wi-Fi, but have hesitated on the locks due to just not being totally sold on if I’m not opening some sort of back end way for smart criminals to break into my house.

The overwhelming majority of locks in homes in the United States can be "picked" with a rake attack in seconds by a chump with a room temperature IQ and five minutes of training. If you're worried about a sophisticated smart attack beating your smart lock, you've lost the plot a bit.

Not only this above, but most criminals will probably throw a brick through the window of the door and unlock it. Or through an actual window and climb in the house.
The door lock really only stops people who would walk up and test your door to see if locked or not.

Thanks guys. Couldn’t see the forest from the trees.
Looks like we’re upgrading locks this year!

Also this. I have... five doors on the exterior of my house. Only one of them (the one in the garage) is a solid door fully encased by the house. The other four either have windows in the door, around the door, or both. The convenience of my literally never having to carry a house key vastly outstrips any feel good security theater for me. I leave that for the false sense of security the alarm system gives my wife
