I got a Samsung NFC lock recently so I could unlock my house with an NFC chip I had implanted in my hand about a year ago. Awesomeness of having my house key in my hand aside, the lock itself is very capable, and I'm quite happy with it as a standalone device. It comes with 5 NFC FOBs which will unlock the door, and each one is tied to a unique PIN combination. If you can't find your FOB, you can still use the PIN. It's been really effective at my house and for house guests.

That's interesting. What are other uses for your implant?

This is what I have at home: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Z19E0C
It's not perfect, but it's reasonable. No cloud, and no traditional key option/alternative (that was my requirement: if you want to prevent lock picking/bumping, don't have a key option at all!).

Ha! You beat me to my comment. I have the same lock. It's really great (:
What I've been struggling to find is a reliable, simple, easy to use, residential FOB system for 1-5 doors and 1-5 users.
Problem statement: my father-in-law has never locked the door in his life; if I want to change this habit, it has to be as simple and easy as possible. A FOB would be ideal - just tap his keychain/wallet/whatever and go. But I'm struggling to find something that isn't wireless and complex and server/cloud based... :-<
