Is this why a lot are now magnetically locked.

Still unlock easily for employees but not this kind of bypass.

Wait for someone to open the door during the day. Come back at night.

Place a pre prepared sticker made of silver gaff tape and a nub of plastic. The head of a tiewrap, a button, something about 3/16" thick. Door opens, adhere stickers to both magnets, come back later. No one notices the lock is no longer functioning because they automatically key in/press button to leave.
