    So far i have had three doors kicked.

    ...

    Had an electronic card rfid lock too, but one person managed to get an authentication card from another unit, and started to authorise his own cards.


    I think you need to move to a safer area :)

    Good brands includes Avocet, Evva, abloy, medeco, but make sure you buy a good lock from those brands. Think the Abloy is the most unpickable, but it can be compromised possibly easier than the medeco

    When you by the lock, make sure you buy enough spare keys at the same time. if buying front and backdoor locks, often they can be keyed with the same key, or have a master key for both locks an also can have separate keys for each lock


    We went with Avocet locks. They're more secure against bumping, snapping, picking, etc, but really we just wanted one key to unlock the front, back, and garage doors!
