Incidentally, most deadbolts are ridiculously easy to pick. I can get into my front door deadbolt in about a minute with a multitool and a safety pin bent into the shape of a pick with said multitool [1]. Unless you've upgraded your typical run-of-the-mill deadbolt to one with mushroom, spool, or serrated pins [2] it will take roughly the same effort. Those higher-security locks typically run over a hundred bucks and as such aren't what most house builders would put in a front door.
