Or breaking the window?

I work in the lock business. If you've ever tried using one of these devices or a key gun, you will find them very time consuming and difficult to use.

If someone is kneeling down, messing with my neighbors front door lock, I'm asking him why.

We also cut glass. If anyone wants into your home, a glass cutter is simple, neat, effective and quiet.

Did you watch the video? The time spent in front of the lock was less than 5 seconds.

Speaking as one who has worked in the lock business, I concur. This kind of device only works marginally on well worn and/or poorly designed locks, and is pretty much useless for higher quality locks.

There's also the old favorite, the Kwickout tool.

Note to everyone else - don't have Kwikset locks on your doors or anything else guarding your valuables. They're known as "Kwik-pick" locks for a reason.

Might want this to go along with the cutter:

It isn't that hard to cut a hole in the vinyl siding then through the sheathing and drywall to get in.

It's all about practice. Any method of gimmicking a lock is tough the first few times, but put some hours into it and it's easy. I used to mess around with lockpicks and padlocks as a "busy hands" hobby, at first it would take me as much as 5 minutes, but after a couple months of practice I could open all my locks faster with the picks than the keys.
