Yes, for the keeping passengers on an airplane alive and well.

For the "stop a hijacker from flying into a building" scenario, the locked door is the control.

Those locked doors need to last for 3+ hours on a flight over the ocean. Which might be possible but probably not.

No they don't. 3 hrs is plenty of time for a military jet to intercept a hostile commercial jet
