Which of the following is NOT a door lock type listed for forcible entry?

• A. Mortise
• B. Bored
• C. Rim
• D. Padlock

Answer: (D)

Understanding which locks are door-mounted versus portable is what this item tests. Padlocks are portable devices used with hasps or chains, not built into the door itself, so they aren’t considered door lock types used in forcible-entry scenarios. In contrast, mortise locks are embedded in a pocket in the door edge, bored (cylinder) locks are installed by drilling through the door, and rim locks are mounted on the door surface and engage with a strike in the frame. Those are the kinds of door locks typically addressed for forcible entry because they are integral to the door and frame. Therefore, the padlock is the one that does not fit as a door lock type listed for forcible entry.
