Only, IIRC if the user "double locks" the door. If they simply let it slam

by using a pair of picks (think sharp pointed blades as previously
described). As the punger is moved the tongue of hte lock will move with
it.


Not on my lock. The plunger is pressed *in* when the door is closed. It
cannot move any further in than it is already. It cannot come out
because the striker plate is in the way. IOW, there is no way it can
move (or be moved) with the door closed. The tip of the plunger is flush
with the 'edge' face of the lock.

Or am I misunderstanding something?
