As the person who taught me how to pick and re-key locks at a local hardware store told me,

"Locks are just there to keep honest people honest. If someone wants to get past a lock, they will find a way."

Something I tell my coworkers every time they start compaining about not getting into somewhere locked: "You guys always think about this wrong. The lock isn't your problem. It's not what's keeping you out. It's the door that's your problem. And that's an easier problem to get around."

Are there words missing here, or did I just seriously fail my comprehend english check?


A friend of mine works as a security consultant and is often hired to check how "safe" a company is from break-ins.
One of her more face-palm worthy stories was a back entrance to a building that had an amazing lock. The thing must have cost a small fortune, it was incredibly well made and trying to break the thing would take you hours, if not days.
The door itself and the doorframe consisted of old rotting wood.

Unless the door frame and the locks on the door are reinforced, you can open most doors with a good firm kick near the catch.

Also, safe cracking sounds like a really fun job.

What?
