I am sure you are aware of the bypass tool for the Master 175. Did you know the newer version you were displaying in the video can have the combo decoded without tools very quickly? It may still work as a deterrent, but people should be aware of the security issues in products like that.

In Florida many homes have outside doors that open out

Tamper Seals improvised = drop a dab of glitter nail polish on the screws of the cover or and hinge. Let it dry and take a picture of it with your cell phone. When you check for tampering compare the photo.

They do have hinges for door that open out. One side has a hole the other side of the hinge has a dimple. This prevents the door from being opened by popping the hinges. Love your videos. You guys are awesome!

I am distinctly an amateur locksmith, but I can open a keyed master lock in seconds with a pick. You can of course shim them open really easy with a bought shim or make one from an aluminium can, requiring near zero skill. Master locks are crap, unfortunately I wouldn't know what to recommend instead as I am in no way an expert.
