Front door

Do you lock it? During the day if you're home? If you're not home? At night?

I don't for most part. That way my friends can just come in and leave when they want.

Up north got a first floor flat, with door downstairs, so it's always locked and key turned.

[EDIT]
This is just so you can come in and nick all our stuff isn't it you naughty cannuk!

I dont,we have people in and out all day long,we have an open house which is a pain some times

My parents have this idea of always locking the front door even if they're in, but seeing as they are in their 60s I guess that's understandable.

Too right I lock it...

Anyway - I have to really otherwise little one would probably run away and never come home.

always locked since we got burgled , if i remember rightly the majority of burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows rather than actually breaking in , and i would publicly flog everyone of the *******s

Live on my own so everything is locked and bolted and I have a weapon of mass destruction by my bed

we've had two 'sneak in' thefts while we were in the house, but with the doors unlocked - needless to say they are kept locked now

paulyoung666 · 30-12-2003, 13:06

just as an aside , make sure you check your insurance policies as regards security , a friend of mine got burgled and when they came to check the house they refused to pay out because 1 window didnt have a lock on it , they werent burgled through that window but that didnt matter to the insurance company

I live in an upstairs flat but with my front door downstairs and people coming to my door tend to think that i dont hear them when they chap the door because im upstairs so they just walk right in! I keep my door locked at all times now cos ive had a few frights with strangers appearing in my hallway!!

I always lock mine ... the kind of people that might walk into people's houses unannounced over here are generally armed.
