One thing I run into from time to time is that people have deadbolts that require key from both the interior and exterior. That seems like a hazard to me.

If you use a security system ADT, Brinks, etc. what is wired? Are there other less obvious means of exterior access that aren't wired like dormer vents, roof vents, crawl space access? How do you know it actually works?

A local tool supplier had a high dollar system with motion sensors. It was tested time and time again. Yet they were cleaned out 3 times in one month using the same access point, the glass next to the front door.

And the system failed 3 times.
