Pre-SHTF Home Security/CCTV/Hardening
I wonder if we could get a sticky like the Comms thread?

Makes me want to hurry the hell up and finish the window film.
There are multiple things we can go over in here - alarm systems, doors, reinforcing, locks...the possibilities are endless, and I know we have some good experience here.
Just to get things started - I took up locksport a while back. DAME/DASE has always been an area that interested me, since I was a kid and didn't even know what it meant. I am NOT "good" at it by any means, but I'm good enough to scare the hell out of myself. Go look at your doors and see what kind of locks you have. Go on, I'll wait.
Kwikset, huh?
After desultory ****ing around with a basic pick set, I can walk through a Kwikset in 15 seconds if I get lucky, and two minutes if I'm not...and I suck. The guy who is learning me on this is a former SMU member who can open these locks so fast it looks like he used a key. But regardless, what I'm getting at is that it doesn't take James Bond to open one of these things. And that doesn't even take into account bump keys.
