If you have figured out how to bypass such locks, a few manufactures want to hire you as a consultant.
I do it every day I go to my kid's school. I push the intercom button and they open it for me. I'm sure the school shooter could have done the same thing, his mother worked there.

Or I could walk in after someone else got buzzed in.
I could have an insider let me in.
I could have an insider activate a fire pull station and the doors should unlock.
Or I could break the glass and be more noticed.

Could I get into a bank vault? No, but some people can and have done so. Nothing is impenetrable. Remember when that couple walked in to the Whitehouse dinner party? That is the greatest security in the world and it was breached...

Do you want to live in a world where you have 20" thick reinforced concrete walls and solid steel doors? I don't. Locks are a start, but not the end-all answer.
