Door Locks From a Burglar's Perspective
Burglars prefer to break into a home through a door because it is quick and easy. A good quality lock is a deterrent. When intruders are interviewed about the selection of a target, many say seeing quality deadbolt locks will cause them to move on to another house.
A burglar can enter the home through a door using several methods:
- Door locks can be picked.
- Door locks can be hammered until they fall off.
- Doors can be pried open.
- Door locks can be "drilled out" using a power drill.
Remember, the intruder will select the door that looks easiest to break into and that offers the least chance of being seen.
