A primary point of a lock is to keep people from acting impulsively. Consider these scenarios, ordered by decreasing likelihood of "yes, you would peek your head in" — or "yes, you would slip in and steal something": If your neighbor leaves their door open, do you peek your head in out of curiosity? If your neighbor leaves their door unlocked, do you open the door and peek your head in out of curiosity? If your neighbor locks their door with a combination of 1234, do you open the combination lock, open the door, and peek your head in out of curiosity? If your neighbor locks their door with a radio-frequency lock, do you install an app to capture their lock signal and replay it later, open the door, and peek your head in out of curiosity? None of these protect against a determined attacker, but they absolutely do protect against impulsive "low risk, high opportunity" actions. |
