Let’s imagine a world without locks.

Your front door would always be open to welcome ‘uninvited visitors’ from time to time. Banks would be so accessible and more vulnerable than ever. Security guards would become the highest paying jobs. Department store staff would be awake 24/7 to readily keep an eye on every customer. CCTV cameras would appear everywhere with wide-awake operators observing suspicious behaviors. On weekends, people would spend more time visiting the police stations than chilling at pubs, hanging out with friends or simply sleeping at home. What an insecure world it would become without locks!
