However, I would not be surprised if it was not properly installed or used a cheap / not-so-strong one. Here in Ireland the locksmith does not really know how to install a mechanical lock anyway. When they broke into my apt just few month ago, one of the best locksmith company here in Dublin put a new lock but it is still not in level to the door so it can be broken off again. I guess they just do not care - sorry about my bitter, but I am just sad every time I am thinking about this.
