Yup; I think an important aspect to look out for with locks is whether or not you have to damage / destroy them to get in, because if they do then you have evidence of a break-in meaning the insurance company will pay out. If you have a burglary (for example) done by shims or lockpicks they can claim fraud / no evidence of a break-in and not pay out.

I'd even go as far to say that for burglars it's important to leave traces of a break-in so that the victim can claim insurance.
