About Lock Picking
For all of us, the one thing that stands between our loved ones and valuables is most often just a good lock. Locksmiths use lock picking techniques to let us back into our homes whenever we loose our keys. Like with all other sources of technical knowledge, lockpicking can also be used for nefarious purposes.
Since most locks are based on pretty similar concepts, You would be surprised how easy it is for someone to learn how to pick a lock, especially with the Net being full of how-to guides on the subject: The MIT Guide to Lock Picking.
Alternatives to this home security vulnerability is to get a keypad entry system, use home safes or diversion safes and install a video surveillance system.
