A better analogy is that you decided to replace your door with a new one, and before installation you notice that it is smashed to pieces and can't be used.

I'll take that. But in this case it's even worse, as apparently they never bothered to check if the door is in one piece and just screwed the smashed pieces onto the hinges regardless. So now it's not working as a door neither functionally nor security-wise, but it took someone visiting from outside to see that the emperor has no door.
