Fair and good warning, but I'm curious, how long would it take you to pick my front door lock instead? Are you saying those lockboxes are significantly easier to defeat than a standard front door lock? (I am genuinely curious! I imagine it could depend on both the particular brand/model of lockbox and door lock!)
(Plus I have bars on some basement and first-floor windows in places that aren't easily seen from the street so seem especially vulnerable, but not on all my windows, someone could always break a window instead. I do not live in a secure military facility).
- quesera 4y agoThis is a good point. I'm a pretty quick lockpick too, for the common Schlage-class at least, but this requires tools and practice. The real estate agent lockbox can be defeated by a random ten year old kid in less than ten minutes. Watch out TikTok!
