Many people and probably all B & E criminals know that standard locks can easily be opened with a blank key and a small hammer with no damage to the door. It is very easy and silent.
Buy a better lock and install long screws that are about 2 or 3 inches long so that they go through the door frame and into the house frame or better yet have the door installed so that it opens out, that way you have to pretty much destroy the door to get in.
