Hi Dave

Many years ago i worked on the David Frost tv show .One of the guests was a
retired burglar,and one of the tips he gave me. Was in order to foil the
use of thin credit card devices . insert nails or pins around the
lock,with just the heads showing. this will prevent the card sliding
around the lock and pushing the catch back in its housing.I am aware that
this can only be done on certain doors Hope this may be of some help
Joe
