Do most break-ins actually involve picking the lock, or is kicking the door in far more common?
The overwhelming majority of forced entries involve kicking or shouldering a door — lock picking requires skill and time that most opportunistic intruders won't invest. That means reinforcing the door frame and strike plate often delivers more real-world security than upgrading the lock cylinder alone, and Sundial Locksmith addresses both when we service homes across Phoenix. Call (480) 525-7778 to get a complete door security evaluation rather than just a lock swap.
