Reply to: Did I lock the door?

Have often tried to get into client buildings with my oyster card too.

I once swiped my debit card over a clients security barrier. I've done the same at the train stations too.

There is always a way in. At one time thieves could not break the lock so they used something, possibly hydraulic to push the door and frame in.

I know people who have been burgled and the burglar came through:
1. a very small open window e.g. bathroom window
2. an unlocked window in flats higher than 1st floor
3. the ceiling in flats and terraced houses as they got into the roof space

Sometimes after a long day I get to the front door and then press the remote key for the car.

I've tried to use a client building pass to get into my front door before. Not that I have anything remotely 'swipeable' on my door.

Lot of times I forget to lock the car. Once I went out for 4-5 hours and left my front door keys dangling at the door. Lucky escape.

Simply take it with you - that way you can always check.

Impressive bitting (note the side bitting a la ASSA) but I am not impressed by keys, rather the locks they are in.

If the lock is a euro cylinder one just snaps the cylinder for example. SS312 Euro cylinder? Lump hammer.

In the end, people do not pick locks in general, they smash windows & break doors.

If someone really wants to get into your home, they will. The trick is to make sure yours isn't the easiest target.

It never has yet.

It is high time someone told him where they have hidden the keys then.

Don't need him blundering on witlessly, not while Whorty can still recall his own login details. No sense in overloading the dimwit portfolio.

Pricey at 'north of $300'? That's a pittance. I bet many dodgy people have access to a key cutting machine.

A file should be sufficient. Or cast in plastic and lubricate.
