locks are made of metal, the last time I checked Wood breaks before metal does.

that is the absolute dumbest generalization i've ever heard in my entire life.

ive seen and kicked in several doors, its always the frame that goes. Ive managed to break a doorknob, but only in the fact that it just doesnt work anymore, it doesnt actually break like it allows the door to actually open.

Either way it doesnt really matter, as the cops didnt kick in your door

I'm with Alobar here. I lived in a frat(yes I'm THAT cool) for two years and probably kicked down a half a dozen doors or more myself. I saw countless others booted in. It's almost always the frame.

I can recall a single instance where it wasn't the frame that gave. The door was wooden and split vertically. The lock was fine.

Again, to echo Alobar, the few times we managed to bust the knob off, the door wouldn't open, you still had to use a screwdriver or pen to manually pull the lock out.
