My friend that worked in Chubb pointed out that often when people upgrade door locks they don't upgrade the fixings of the frame to the wall, and the entire frame can come away from the wall.

When one friend of mine and his wife purchased a ~25 year old condo, it came with a key in knob lock and two deadbolts. Sadly the locks ran into a piece of wood that was part of the door frame which had less than a centimetre of wood on the edge of the mortises. When their 17 year old daughter pointed out that they break boards thicker than that at her Tae Kwan Do dojo, she and her father got into an argument about the security of the door. While arguing with dad, she backkicked the door and it popped open. Ooopppsss... The door was replaced with one with a better frame that was securely mounted.
