But I hate their cheapo door locks with a passion! 😦
Took our complex workers almost 3 days to change the entrance lock after the old one gave up the ghost. The replacement I bought was so shitty, you couldn’t even pull out the keys after locking or unlocking it. This new one seems to work. Question is just: For how long?
Why I don’t buy better quality, I hear you ask. Because all the brand locks are gone from the stores, you can only get Chinashit anymore. Hardware store is down to two brands: One budget and one expensive with some Italian sounding name, all fancy like. Knobs, cylinders, even the keys were all the same. Yikes. 😮
Went to a locksmith, see if they had something decent … nope, same shit only more expensive. 😦
Dunno if that is due to the Covid situation that in the West nothing works right anymore but we’re more and more depending on China?
Thar She Blows! 
That sucks. Cheap China stuff is great sometimes but others, like door locks (!) call for quality.

The thing is it all looks so massive and well done, heavy metal n shit and right after putting it in the door it starts to move and wobble. 😦
The Chinese aren’t stupid, I bet you can get locks that match Swiss or German niftyness but then the prices aren’t that low anymore. So I mostly blame the stores for only stocking the cheapest shit. I was fully prepared to pay twice the price or more, it’s our fukn front door ffs, wanna be save inside! But no, can’t buy it.
