I wonder how strong the actuator is on the device. I know that most deadbolts don't line up all that great with the hole in the frame and require a lot of force to actually open and close. I'm sure the actuator is limited in how much force it can generate.

The Kwikset motorized deadbolts have tapered bolts to help compensate for poor alignment. I'm not sure why it's not more common with other locks.
