Thru-the Lock Entry: "7-5" and "5-7"

The Adams-Rite lock is a mortise lock common to commercial occupancies, particularly store-fronts or “taxpayers”.  It’s a relatively formidable lock; the throw is about 1.5″ of solid metal into a metal frame – very difficult to force conventionally.  Further, the door is often glass – which may or may not be covered with some type of security bars or mesh.  For a whole lot of reasons, I think breaking the glass is your WAY last resort.
