Realistically this doesn't sound like it'll actually lead to much (if any) increase in crimes against you. Most physical locks are just meant to be a mild deterrent, not actually be an impenetrable gate. They're just there to prevent crimes of convenience. If someone really wants to get into a door then they'll be able to get into the door regardless of how secure your lock is
It does increase the risk of opportunistic crime though. If someone just unlocked all the gates and doors of an entire apartment building for shits and giggles, and you're in an area where there are people who go around apartment complexes randomly trying doors, there's certainly an increased risk.
That's a huge "if" for both those things to happen at the same time before a resident or staff noticed it happening
