Jason Albert posted this classic Fixed-it Friday fix on the Crap Locksmithing Facebook page. Seems pretty secure, no? I’m wondering why the installer didn’t just mount the new device closer to the lock edge.

Some installations are just pathetic. Who would even accept this shoddy workmanship and then actually pay for it?

Than it would not go half the width of the door!!!!
A clear code violation
Installer did not want to re-drill the cylinder hole and then have to finish the exterior of the door is my best guess.
The only possible reason I can think of is for alignment with an existing outside cylinder location? Otherwise, no reason at all.
