This whole business about standards and picking a level of security is sort of, I don't know, complicated. How about this, just give us three locks rated in this order:
1- When they film the movie about how the slick, professional, European terrorists try to break into your home, they will need to shoot a scene where the charismatic leader has to recruit some autistic genius who is the only one of 3 people on the planet with the ability to pick the kind of locks you have on the front door to your home. Have a character mumble something about "These are the same locks the CIA uses on the doors to the room where they keep nuclear launch codes" or something similar. The key to this lock should look menacing, high tech and just downright evil.
2- The lock that is still overkill, but not AS overkill as number one listed above. It should still look evil though.
3- Good enough to keep every crack smoker who watched the YouTube videos about bumping out of your house, but not so amazing that the European terrorists outlined in #1 above would have too much trouble. The lock that most prudent people would install on their front door.
Speaking of #1, where can someone get some EVVA MCS action here in the US?
