The car industry tried this ploy - but it doesn't change the math.
If only 4 buttons - and assuming 4 digit combination, there are only 256 possible combinations (4*4*4*4).
If 8 distinct buttons it is more reasonable but still only 4096 combinations.

If more than 4 digits, the math improves.

The video makes a point of the 'millions of combinations' for the wireless FOB, but not a word about the physical keypad.
You can have combinations up to 8 digits providing "enhanced" security but in all reality, before someone would go through 256 combinations, I am pretty sure they would just break a window or pry the door open. The key to success with security is in layers and not rely on this device alone.

I received the lock and will be putting in on later this month when I get back home. I will be sure to let everyone know how it goes.
