They are for whichever use the customer wants. When used in outside facing doors (or doors you want to actually lock down) it should be paired with a deadbolt, as it is here. You are not wrong in saying that the main reason to use this solution is cost tho.

The reason they don't really use a single spindle anymore is because it makes them extremely easy to brute force. You can literally just knock the handle off and access and operate the latch assembly.

Those locks dont have a locking mechanism (hence the deadbolt) they are just meant to keep the door shut

There are some that do lock the latch. In those cases removing the handless wont do you any favours since the assembly itself is locked in place. And there are others that dont lock the latch but have a deadbolt as part of the lock.

Worst part is that it is a lie. Those movies were well recieved by most.

More so when they are cherrypicking bad reviews. Those movies were widely well recieved by audiences and critics and won several awards.

Apologies. I was having to much fun replying to the experts I didnt noticed.

That specific type of lock doesnt use a key, they just have a spring loaded bolt (? sorry, dont know terminology in english) and no real locking mechanism. Thats what the deadbolt on top is for

Unless this handle is ancient.

Those types of loocks, where the handles are fixed together, are fairly common where I live and are still sold. The world is a big place.

A door lever where both sides are fixed together

Some locks are that way.

seems like a huge safety hazard.

Agreed.

Door opens inwards, look at the frame. The box is not blocking the door from moving but blocking the handle from turning and opening the door. Dont know if it real but its possible.

I think "macrodroid" could do that. But setting up that kind of macro sounds like a pain lol. Wouldnt a scrolling screenshot be better?

Thats what Yoshis are for. Its scientific name is "Doublejumposaurus Super"

Yep, hooks, shims, combs, etc. I love them, customers hate them. Get a better door/lock is what I tell them, but your next lock out might be more expensive.

Ok, I see what you mean now. Then I dont know what makes a band "the same band" but I stand with what I said: Ozzy's Sabbath is a different band than Dio's Sabbath lol

Thanks for sharing I have never heard the Sid Barret songs.
