It should be noted that [some] hotel doors with electronic key cards also have physical key holes (as a backup) that are hidden, but are still susceptible to being picked.

This just supports your point that hotel doors are not 100% secure for anyone who really wants to get through.

Edit: Replaced all with some. The doors at the hotels I worked had backup physical keys in case the battery failed. It's cool that Onity locks can be powered externally if the battery fails. Thanks for the correction.



That's not really the case. While some of these do exist, Onity's locks themselves do not contain any physical keyhole and I've never seen them installed in such a configuration. Other vendors may be different.
