You can fit a code lock on the door instead.

But be aware that many of those just need the correct numbers pressed
in any order to open. So 2578 or 5287 or any other combination of the
four numbers will open the lock.


Take care when setting the combination. My (paramedic) daughter used to
encounter a lot of these when she was operational. If they hadn't been
given the code, they would ask a neighbour when the person was born -
old people are always telling others how old they are - and they would
try the year first, then day/month.

They had an 80% success rate.

Problem is - the oldie needs a number they can remember easily if they
get locked out.
