The noise and evidence of a broken window acts as a strong deterrent - as well as a warning system to those inside. Using a stolen/copied/fabricated key is comparatively silent.
- greyhair 6y agoSee my other post about the local kid kicking in front doors. Also, other than "high security" locks, it is easier to bump a lock than it is to get a duplicate key. Most people have mid grade entry sets on their house. Anybody can learn to bump those, with some practice, and it only takes about twenty or thirty seconds, particularly on an older, worn, lock. I taught myself, decades ago, and was surprised how easy it was. My father always said, locks just keep honest people honest.
