Somebody who used to live in my house still has my address on her drivers license. I've notified the motor vehicle bureau that she has moved, but she still has her license with my address on it. This is somebody who I know but no longer trust. If she wants to break into my house while I'm at work or on vacation, probably all she has to do is call a locksmith, show him her drivers license, and he'll pick my lock for her. If I upgrade to a Medeco or Primus lock, will a locksmith say, "Sorry, this is a restricted lock. I can't let you in. You need to call the locksmith who you bought the lock from"? Or will he take a look at her drivers license and cheerfully pick or bump or drill my lock?
I have no reason to believe that any of the local locksmiths in my area are dishonest. I just think they're sloppy about security. A few years ago I locked myself out of my house . I called a locksmith and he picked the lock for me. He looked at the address on my drivers license first. But he had no way of knowing that I still lived at the address that I lived at when my drivers license was issued.
I have been told that Medeco locks can be bumped or picked but Primus locks can't be. Is that true?
