You don't lock the bolt or the chain mechanism when you stay in a hotel room? Or are you saying they bypassed those also?


I think the primary threat in this situation is burglary of an unoccupied hotel room.

Security chains are fairly easy to defeat; a bent clothes hanger will do. Deadbolts are probably pretty hard if there's no external key hole. Someone intending harm to the occupants of a hotel room might just break a window.


Not necessarily. Sometimes the master key card opens the deadbolt as well.
