That does not speak for your users... Even when one was too lazy or inept to just pick those locks, a collection of just a few different keys was usually enough

That does not speak for your users... Even when one was too lazy or inept to just pick those locks, a collection of just a few different keys was usually enough to open any of the typical tubular locks.
Source: Did this a lot when I was young and stupid, not to steal but to annoy teachers... As soon as I was not young enough to walk free (but still just as stupid), I got caught and had to help with maintenance of the computer cabinet for the rest of my school career ;)
- atoav 7y agoA lock is increasing the effort someone has to take to steal. Even if the lock is utterly useless from a real security perspective, psychologically it presents a small hurdle to people who are not hardened criminals, but opportunistic thieves. In many cases that small hurdle is already enough to make a significant impact on the outcome.
