Keyless Doorknobs



Mack the knife should have been called Mack the lock picking artist, until he came across a house that had a particular type of keyless doorknobs installed. Mack knew how to get through any security door like it was a stick of butter. Technology had created finger print scanning devices and numeric keypad codes, but they all had their flaws. To him they were like a box of cracker jacks: made to be opened and enjoyed. Being a thief meant Mack had spent a lot of years in jail for burglary. He'd canvas neighborhoods, break into homes, and steal what ever valuable jewelry he could find. And in all those years he'd never come across a lock that he couldn't somehow open.



Locksmiths will tell you that key locks are a good way to secure your home. They don't bother to tell home owners how easy it is to pick one. Maxwell Smart could have even picked a lock, if he could have just stopped thinking about Agent 99 all the time. There's a saying among locksmiths: Locks were made to be broken... into. Agent 99's bobby pins didn't really open any locks on that show. Smart used a specialized lock picking tool called a jiggler. The jiggler is a key-like device with nubs on it, that is raked back and forth against the tumbler pins, inside the lock. A jiggler will open a lot of locks.

Tonight, Mack is in a neighborhood he's been watching for the last few months. He's gotten word that one house in particular has a lot of valuable jewels, and he's been watching to learn the habits of the owners. The owners are away tonight, and Mack doesn't expect them back for a couple of days because they always spend the weekend at the lake. They think their house is safe and their valuables are safe, simply because they have locks on their doors.

Mack thinks the owners are about to learn the hard way how wrong they are. How wrong could they be? Wrong is like when you make a left hand turn in front of an oncoming bus because your light has turned red, and you know his light has turned red, but you realize to late that the silly driver has decided to run a red light. Wrong is when you forgot to return the book to the library and figured the maximum fee is the price of the book. But years later you get a letter from a lawyer who says you owe twelve years of overdue fines. Yes, Mack thinks these owners are going to be proven wrong.
