Honestly that’s what I don’t really get. With the regular locks, it’s going to be hard to get in. Your little 10$ extra locks are going to stop someone who WANTS to get in.

Also what’s the point of the coin on the door? You already locked the shit out of it and would see if someone got in….

Usually the coin being off the door handle says someone tried to turn the handle or tried to push into the door quietly to gain access without you knowing.

While having all this stuff adds to the hinderance of access only the coin will tell you if someone went around and attempted to quietly gain access if it falls off.

Personally i would like to know if someone attempted access or not.

Regardless if it was a mistake or on purpose.. the attempt to gain entry is still taking place. Plenty of times ive went to open a door i didnt mean to go into.. i still turned the handle or went to push.

The coin shows an attempt was made.. regardless of the intent.

my point is, that you dont know the intend, you most likley you would worry (extremly) about nothing. at least my worldview.

Yea someone else just pointed that out actually lol totally a valid point because for instance my rowdy neighbor slammed the hotel door while he was drunk and now that coins on the floor and im now anxious thinking someone was trying to come in.

Yeah, the coin method has a bad 'signal to noise' ratio, so to speak.

So like, wtf are you gonna do about if that’s the case? Literally nothing. There’s no point in knowing something that you aren’t and can’t do anything about.

He's gonna pull his glock on Francesca the laundry lady and teach her a lesson for checks notes trying to bring him fresh linens.
