Don't shoot the messenger.

The idea behind central locking is to prevent the thief from opening your door after they crawl through a broken window.

Actually, it is a huge crime deterrent. You can't crack a window, then pull the handle from the inside and gain access. The only way to gain access is to crawl through the broken window---in and out.

Next, you don't need to accept my reasoning. But, you do have to accept the facts---that's how the system works.
