Good look at what happened in the recent San Antonio case, but also the Botham Jean/Amber Guyger case (which I had no idea involved a negligent lock issue -- as he notes, that's not what most of the reporting noted), and a third case in NYC involving a lazy workaround that led to an assault.

We have a bag of keys. Whenever we lose a key to one of the of our old house almirahs or rooms there we try to unlock with the keys from the bag, and it always works. You know 'some are magic keys'.

I was settling into a hotel room a couple weeks ago and my door was opened by a couple. They'd been booked into the same room with a key that worked. How can that even happen?

Oh, in hotels it's even easier, since it's not "keys" but keycards that are programmed, and the desk just has to punch in the wrong room number (or the computer has an issue that allows double booking).
Fun fact I found out a few years ago when I was visiting NYC when they had their blackout: Hotel keycard locks work even when the electricity's out, but of course they can't be reprogrammed, so people could theoretically get into a room after they were supposed to have access that way.
