Fallboard Lock and <knock knock> I haven't seen one get ripped off of the case or broken. The only problem I've had is one lock that started acting up (replaced it) and the darned gremlins that love to take it off of the piano (students and faculty alike claiming to have locked it when they finished, of course!). Pianotek sells 'em (page D13) for $49.95 each. A good investment if you can train the users to reattach it when they finish. Regarding those bent steel "locks", while I was at U of Illinois, we had to repair/rebend those *^&%! things regularly. Determined musicians, I must say!
