The Willowbrook woman who was stabbed and sexually assaulted in her home two years ago said in a lawsuit that the front door lock was faulty and failed to prevent her attacker from entering. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-woman-attacked-sues-over-door-lock-met-20170818-story.html --- ...

I don't really know much about locks or anything about her specific lock but lots of cheaper ones can easily be broken by a kick, and shit depending on the quality of the frame as well in some cases it's not hard to just break through the wood itself with a kick. But I'm not sure if this one was advertised as some heavy duty one or not so I don't really know if she has a case or not because there's more information needed or if this is a justified case. The cynic in me will assume that everyone sucks and that the woman is trying to make money on a horrible thing that happened to her that wasn't really anyone's fault but the POS who did it, but the optimist in me hopes that it's not really about the money but the locks are indeed faulty and she's suing to make nobody else gets an unreasonably unsecure lock that can be broken easier than reasonably expected or that it isn't falsely advertised or anything.

I wonder if the lock was installed properly.
My husband once installed an ANSI grade 2 lock for his aunt. He didn't use the right screws on the strike plate. A drill is needed and he didn't have one on hand. It got kicked down by burglars easily (no one was home luckily). If they followed the manufacturer's installation instructions then they have a case. Otherwise, probably not. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A chick who got paralyzed in a gang shooting here is suing the shooters (makes sense) but also suing the hotel it happened outside and the city. Like why not sue Porsche cause the SUV didn't stop bullets? And whatever clothing company you were wearing at the time.

If the lock company is promoting safety and it does the opposite they deservee to be sued Thats absurd. Nothing can guarantee safety.

My sympathy goes out to her, but it's not the victim's place to be able to assign the blame where she pleases. If she has reason to believe that Home Depot knew that Kwikset was an inferior product, then she may have a case against them. Otherwise, she should sue the developer and not the seller.
What happened to her is tragic, I'm glad she pulled through, and I hope she gets her money from the manufacturer. But being victimized does not mean being able to point the finger at will and make whomever you choose culpable. ... Copied to Clipboard!

That excerpt from Kwikset states that the locks are supposed to be protected and lockpicking and bumping. Bumping is not actually bumping into the lock so hard that it breaks, bumping is method of driving up the pins with something called a bump key to unlock the door.

I'm sure that home depot and the lock company have nothing to fear. They will send adjusters to the home and they will say the lock was improperly installed or the frame was rotted or jump through one of a million hoops to redirect blame. The only one at fault here is the racist wannabe murderer.
