Or just use a better lock. Pin-tumbler locks are just awful and inexcusable. We have know that they are bad and had better options for more than 5 decades. Yet for some strange reason they have managed to maintain their market dominance in the US. Every year they add new mitigation features that generally either don't actually work, or if they work, they just make picking it a tiny bit harder. If you want your front door not to be easily pickable, just get Abloy Protec or a similar lock for it.

Of course, the reason for this is that criminals largely don't pick locks.
