I have had doors kicked in, so these days I want the lock to be the weakest, not strongest, part of the door. So when it is kicked in it is a cheap lock that is destroyed not an expensive hardwood door (I like hardwood doors...)
- lrvick 5y agoMost locks can be picked by a child with a hair pin. I would know. I grew up as that child opening every door and safe I could to amuse myself. If a door is broken then a lock did its job. It let you know you were broken into.
