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

΄ (ππ¦)@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.
π΄π³ββ§π΄ββ I have a stop on my route that got broken into through their roll up door windows. they installed an electronic alarm system. then 2 weeks later when I tried to leave the front door wouldn't latch. the strike plate had been shimmed closer to the door latch badly and it required multiple slammings to get it to latch. π€·ββοΈ
@coolcalmcollected @alice @deviantollam My wife's print studio just had a guy install a commercial double door and put the surface latch on the wrong side of the door- It doesn't lock anything and its accessible from the outside ΰ² _ΰ²
