Most cheap locks are easily defeated by using 2 metal drill bits; one just large enough that it won't fit into the key slot, and the other just small enough to use tthe first as a pilot hole. If you're upgrading, might I suggest the Schlage locks which also have a pushbutton combination. http://consumer.schlage.com/door-locks/keyless-deadbolt-door-locks/keyless-deadbolt/ They work with key or combo, are high security, and allow you to program a temporary code for workers, guests and one-night-plus stands without having to leave a key under the mat. PLUS they're currently on sale at the Mothership (Home Depot) for 20% off ($150ish - 20%!) I used them to re-key my house (and tenants units) with deadbolts I bought new off eBay.

Once inside I was able to repair the aforementioned lock and gain my freedom. I think it's time for me to move into a ultramodern condo or something with a retinal scanner. What are the chances of losing an eye? Maria,

Getting stuck halfway through a window though is a danger that I seek to avoid by not eating as much as I'd like. One of the favourite things in my job is getting to break into people’s houses.
