Condor Puma SerpienteWorking in security and doing security door/door access installs with a locksmith and getting into locksport, I've noticed- and maybe it's just a thing local to me- that like 95% of the doors in the world are not installed correctly. Holy shit you guys.
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
🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)@brad it's true. Most locksmiths and door installers use oversized strike plates because it's easier than fitting them correctly, and customers don't like it when their structure settles and then the door doesn't close properly, so you'd be surprised how many doors don't engage the deadlatch.
RiskyThinking@alice @brad @deviantollam I'd always assumed incompetence before but your explanation makes much more sense: it's the classic cost+convenience vs security trade-off. Less security = less callbacks.
Jonathan Lamothe@riskythinking @deviantollam @alice @brad Good to know that it's not just cybersecurity that works this way.
Like when the heaviest encryption can be defeated by knowing the answer to "what's your mother's maiden name?"
@me yup. Very much like that.
