Keeping your key in the lock at night could save you a lot of trouble, according to a security expert. (Page 2 ) | April 25, 2025

Benefits :
Makes lock picking more difficult
Save time in case of emergency evacuation
May deter some poorly equipped intruders
Disadvantages:
Risk if a window is broken to access the key
Less useful if the burglar enters through another entrance (window, garage, etc.)
The best option therefore remains a combination of solutions : secure lock, exterior lighting with motion detection, alarm or connected camera… and why not, a key turned in the lock as an additional barrier .

In conclusion: a small gesture that can have a big impact
Security doesn’t always depend on expensive systems. Sometimes, a simple reflex is enough to deter a break-in attempt. Gently turning your key in the lock at night is like locking your door with an extra layer of security .

This gesture may seem trivial… until the day it really makes a difference .

Next: I had no clue about this!.
