Eh locks are only as good as the doors they're attached to. Any healthy adult male (and probably determined females) can kick and shoulder through a typical door, especially on suburban houses.
- ohgodplsno 5y agoShouldering/kicking through a door is made to break the door at the hinges (unlikely), or the lock. An adult made that tries to kick through the body a door and break it open will take several minutes, at the very least.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoYou'd be surprised how quickly you can kick a door down when your psycho (ex) girlfriend deadbolts your door and says she's going to burn your house down because you are evicting her.
- mikecoles 5y agoUnless the frame is metal or otherwise reinforced, it's not overly difficult to split the frame where the lock pockets are with a couple of good "donkey kicks".
- ohgodplsno 5y ago...yes, that's why I mention that the only way it works is by kicking at the lock.
