The lock doesn't even need to be that good. As you said, the name of the game is intrusion detection, not necessarily intrusion avoidance.
The Lock Picking Lawyer chronicled very nicely a technique for turning a KW1-keyed Kwikset core (extremely common here in the US) into something that is tamper evident. See the YouTube video linked herein.

This kind of thing thwarts covert attack attempts and serves as a good way to trigger an audit on the trust of the asset behind that lock.
- Chirael 5y agoI’m into locksport as well and would favor that kind of modification on a back door which is more likely to be targeted by thieves. Not sure I’d do it on a front door in case I put a family member actually locked themselves out and actually needed a locksmith to be able to get in.
- nrr 5y agoSure, and the application of access control devices generally requires a degree of discretion and understanding what your threat model is. If you don't fear your front door will be clandestinely accessed, I feel it's perfectly valid not to worry about doing this to the lock there. Not being you, that isn't my call to make.
- Chirael 5y agoYeah, my threat model is common house thieves, not intelligence agencies or police.
