jimmy-proof
Hard to force
Jimmy-proof describes a lock or door designed to resist forced entry, particularly from tools like crowbars or jimmies (prying instruments).
A jimmy-proof lock typically has a vertical bolt that interlocks with a strike plate, making it difficult to pry the door frame apart: The landlord installed a jimmy-proof deadbolt after the break-in.
