Your door only opens half of the NID. The Phone company has another door that opens the whole NID. They don't need to open your lock to get access to the inside of the NID. They use the torx screw with a pin in the middle to open the whole box. Jensen tools will sell one of those "security" drivers to anyone with the appropriate amount of money (information from an earlier thread here in the Digest). So the lock only protects you from the casual and the ignorant. dan herrick herrickd@iccgcc.decnet.ab.com
