Well, they wouldn't have... until now...

I hope the cap does not rust on the stub. ;-)

If one has a pipe wrench, it's just as easy to use it on the
doorknob :/

If you depend on a doorknob-based lock to secure your home,you are
nuts. 1;easy to lock yourself out with one.
2;easy to use a pipe wrench on one.

Windows are even easier. Why put an expensive lock right next to a
window? The fact is that door locks only keep the neighbor kids
out.

Not all doors have windows adjacent to them.Or have windows IN them.

Seems pretty common.

Now,newer,fancy homes do have windows right next to the door,very unwise
for security.

Sure, but it is a reality. The fact is that door locks do nearly
nothing. Windows are far easier entry points than even cheap
locksets.
