⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 13,100 endorsements and 330k downloads — this mod is battle-tested

- Lightweight and focused — does one thing and does it well
👎 Cons
- Last updated in December 2021 — may not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC
- No detailed feature list or install instructions in the description — you're on your own for setup
- Only affects doors and gates; doesn't address other settlement security issues like turret placement
