When doing lock changes and lockbox installations the keyset is removed and discarded. I use a cordless drill and a good bit. Takes about 2 minutes and I'm in.

"In summary, home inspectors should warn their clients about making sure their door locks are sufficiently secure to prevent unauthorized entry by someone using a bump key."

Interesting. But when did home inspectors become responsible advising clients about home security?



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
