Maybe @deviantollam or @alice can corroborate or deny this being their experience but I'll just walk around town with my wife and be like "Ope, that gap is way too big, I could get in like this" or "Wow, that's not aligned right and they didn't put the strike plate on" the ENTIRE time

I have a stop on my route that got broken into through their roll up door windows. they installed an electronic alarm system. then 2 weeks later when I tried to leave the front door wouldn't latch. the strike plate had been shimmed closer to the door latch badly and it required multiple slammings to get it to latch. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Most people don't know or understand the function of the deadlatch.
I built a crude model to explain it.

- Yeah. Same with computer security.

"Locks keep honest people honest." is a saying for a reason. The facade of it being locked or secure is enough to prevent folks from making a mistake of convenience and trying to steal something because it looks easy.

But many things can be taken if you put in minimal effort.

Thank goodness most folks are either generally decent people or at the very least just can't be arsed to take whats not their's. (Society only works when this is the case...)

@alice Can’t tell if this is post is about locksport or infosec..

I’ve re-hung quite a few friends’ crappy Seattle area doors with long screws and full length plates. Your ring/cam and fancy WiFi lock don’t matter much IRL. Anti-kick does.
