If the latch is deadlatching, you can't slip it with a credit
card.

How am I wrong? I have defeated several "deadlocking
latches" - both
Kwikset and also good quality Weiser and Schlage - with only a
thin
piece of flexible plastic. If you want anything that will
cause someone
motivated to get into your house to have to take more than a
couple
minutes, you need a deadBOLT. As I said, any kid with a
library card
can defeat a deadlocking latch UNLESS you take other measures
to keep
them from doing so, like cutting a slot to catch the card in
the door
jamb. Even so they can sneak the card around the corner above
the latch
and slide it down.
