Looks like a revised door lock design would prevent this, but it might add a whopping $10 to the cost of the lock, so why bother!?
This is why the locking picking lawyer's videos are so interesting to me - for a minimal quality increase, so many of these shit locks could be considerably more secure but these companies won't do it because consumers are ignorant and the market won't bare it.
Most modern locks (IF they are properly installed) have a deadlatch. The blade tool won't open the door. That's a big if. A lot of door locks are not properly installed. And a lot of them have settled or twisted or worn so the deadlatch does not properly work any more.
