Lockpicking leaves marks inside the lock which look nothing like what a key leaves behind. http://www.lockpickingforensics.com/ http://www.lockpickingforensics.

  Depends on the atack, a Lishi key should leave little to no scratches on the pins. Raking would leave the most.

    The marks you’re looking for are on the sides of the pins, where they get jammed against the barrel. The Lishi doesn’t help that much in preventing this damage

  Huh that is very interesting. However I suspect that unless the door was actually damaged the insurer would just go "yeah you didn't lock your door, no claim for you" - I guess you'd have to pay to get your own lock forensics done.

    Yeah, the insurance company isn't going to go out of its way to prove they should pay a claim. But it could be useful for a claimant trying to get compensated.

  Unless they stole your gold brick collection, no insurance company is going to dismantle your locks (all of them) and send them for forensic tests. Nor would they accept your hired expert opinion. Such procedures are only rational in extreme cases.
