Re: Home security week!! How secure is your home?

the reason for the yale type surface lock aswell as the mortice is that a mortice doesn't lock automaticaly. Unless you have a plastic door that is. I see your point though, strength wise a mortice will always be stronger because the lock on the inside is surface mounted and the barrel on the outside is surface mounted so can be pulled out.
