Deviant Ollam has done a couple of videos about hotel security. One of them--one that I can't find right now--used a wedge that had an adjustment screw, so that even if the lock was cracked, you needed a battering ram to open the door. OTOH, you could only use it while you were in the room, so it's not any good at protecting valuable objects while you're not in the room.

If you're being personally targeted by someone with any real level of skill, or an organization with resources, most security measures that you have available to you as an individual of modest means are unlikely to help significantly. In general, locks are there to keep honest people honest, and that's about it.

Yup, all an attacker needs is a maid's key to get in. That's a pretty low barrier to entry...
