Why is it in the soaps like Eastenders or Coronation street the fronts doors are secured with just a yale key and not a mortice lock? Surely a good kick would open the door very easily
Being a police officer I can assure you it is not hard to kick a door in with a five lever mortice. I hope I haven't given the opportunist burglar and ideas!!!
The best lock will be solid steel bolts at both the top and bottom of the door.
