There are also keyless solutions to your front door. The second time I had to call a locksmith in Shanghai I got pitched on a combination lock for my apartment door.

That's not to say they make sense. The total amount I spent on having the locksmith let me back in to my apartment that year was significantly less than the cost of putting in a combination lock.

It’s interesting to see where redundancy reduces reliability.

Unlike say etcd where three improves reliability to the best of the three, three locks would decrease reliability to the worst among them.
