I disagree. What would end up happening is they'll use the overhead door as access from the front without a walk in door. I can point to countless numbers of 24x24 garages with two walk in doors simply because people don't want to walk around to the other side of the building to get in.

Locks only keep honest people out too. Hinges out our hinges in, it's a 30 second endeavor however you slice it for someone determined to get in. I freaked my wife out once when I used a credit card to get in our garage. I told her "the deadbolt might have slowed me down just a bit but they can be overcome too"
