It will help. Instead of busting the lock with one whack it will take several and make a lot of noise, more likely they will run off. It will still damage the lock, but should keep them from getting in as easily.

Or in my case, cover the locks that are already punched out.

I know about that...
Both my locks were punched before i got my truck, I found the key cylinders sitting in the bottom of the doors (along with a few wasp nests).
My pass side lock would not work with the key and the retaining part that held it in place on the door handle was completely broken. I just used some gorilla glue to put it back in place and removed all the lock linkage from the handle to lock mechanism. As said, the lock cylinder no longer works, but since I have electric locks and keyless entry, I never worried about it. I debated just using a pass side rear door handle to just eliminate the key hole. If I ever find a wrecked supercrew that is the same color I may still do it.
The drivers side cylinder still functions, but the retaining part that held the cylinder in was mostly gone. I used a hose clamp along with gorilla glue to secure it back in place. almost 4 years later and it is still holding up (but rarely use the key to unlock). I had looked at the Jimmy Jammer as an option to fix it, but no need so far.

I live almost in the hood. Boyze here go in without a scratch.They would be ashamed to do something like that.

I plan on to get a keypad handle and will probably get some new cylinders while at it. It was funny cause when my locks were punched my tool box was unlocked. It had all the expensive stuff in it. The truck didn't have anything but a .38 and a can of Stocker's.

Exactly !
The idea is always to layer your security for car, home or personal.
No security is unbeatable, the idea is to make it more difficult and to dissuade someone from trying or moving on to another car/truck.
*Don't leave anything of value out for people to see.
*Tint can help keep perps from prying.
*Window Protection Film
*Alarm
*Install Locks Caps or Punch Plugs
*Install a locking mechanism protection plate.
*Install a GPS Tracking device.
*Parking in a secure garage or well lit area that is under camera surveillance.
*Other
Given enough time and setting any auto can be stolen. The idea is just to make it more difficult.
You can always hire Chuck to watch over your F-series too!

Yeah, the pass side was apparently an amateur. No idea why they did both sides?
My cousin (that I got the truck from) said it was done while in the parking lot at Grand Casino Coushatta when he was playing in a poker tournament (he was a semi pro card player for a while).
Funny thing is when I was looking at getting the truck, it had been sitting at my aunts house for a few months. Had a dead battery and she could not find the key. I got in by unlocking it through the popped out keyhole. Took like 5 seconds once I saw the lock rod in there. I can see how in less than 10 seconds somebody that knows what they are doing can get in the truck with minimal noise and attention.
Ford didn't put a cruise light on the Navigator gauge clusters for some odd reason. So I used the 4x4 light instead, lol. Not like I'd used it for anything else on a 2wd anyway.
