Your house is insanely easy to break into unless it’s built with special materials or has steel bars over all openings.
Disregarding the fact that windows break, pretty much every residential door (both interior and exterior) can be busted down by anyone with a decent body weight or with a framing hammer. Hammer thru the door skin, or claw pry on the jamb to force the latch to release, or even just bodyslamming it can be enough to separate the lock block and stiles and the doors will simply fall apart from there.
Learning how locks work made me realise that locking a door is basically just like putting a sign on my door saying "please don’t burgle me :) ". That terrified me at first, but I came to realise that nothing had changed and that I was no less safe than I was before. Turns out that the social contract is the main thing that keeps people in line

Half of security is just making them be noisy enough to get worried someone will check
You reminded me of this old film from the 1980’s:
