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.
B'ad Samurai 🐐🇺🇦@alice Can’t tell if this is post is about locksport or infosec..
I’ve re-hung quite a few friends’ crappy Seattle area doors with long screws and full length plates. Your ring/cam and fancy WiFi lock don’t matter much IRL. Anti-kick does.
Death to the Dictator@badsamurai @alice @brad @deviantollam
Agreed. Long screws definitely make forced entry more difficult, and after an attempted break in damaged the door and jamb, I added steel plates with large screws into the middle of the stud.
