I guess so, but I'm not sure picking or bumping residential locks is heard of where I live. Last time I was burgled they used a crowbar to force entry by breaking the lock. Even that's rare. The overwhelming majority of burglaries here are opportunistic based on unlocked doors/windows. There's a LockPickingLawyer video on YouTube [1] where he shows you a simple modification that seizes the lock upon picking attempts. I would do this, but unlike him I only have one entrance door, so in the event it is seized I'd have to break in. [1] https://youtu.be/7JlgKCUqzA0 https://youtu.be/7JlgKCUqzA0
