Property Management Lockout Key

Tom the locksmith just stopped by the office and showed us a great tool, the lockout key.

Basically, if you have a move-out/eviction scenario where you need to secure the property before the locksmith can change locks, there is a special type of 2-part key that jams a piece of metal into each lock, making existing keys unusable. The metal is removable with another special 'key.'

So of course the first question is "what's to prevent somebody from just kicking the door down?" That is the topic of a compeltely different discussion thread. If somebody buys me a cigar at Del Frisco's, I would be happy to engage...
