How does AP501 stand against kicking, hammering, prying, and even drilling and sawing?
Well, with determination, power tools, and a lot of time, any lock can be destroyed, or any door for that matter. But AP501 makes it very difficult to do so. In fact, AP501 has many features, mostly invisible from the outside, that are designed to keep a vandal or a burglar out of your home even if he tries to “destroy” the lock. For instance, all of the vital parts of AP501 such as the motor, deadbolt drive, CPU, batteries, etc., are mounted on the inside of the door so that a vandal cannot reach them from the outside. Plus, even if a vandal spends enough time with power tools to drill many large holes (if he does not mind making such loud noises), it would still be very difficult for him to reach the deadbolt control mechanism because of a specially-treated protective plate that blocks access to the deadbolt latch, unlike other locks where the deadbolt control mechanism is easily visible once the outside unit is compromised. Security is further enhanced by a rock-solid deadbolt latch
