Do you lock your door if you're home during the day?
 

I don't

No. No one can open my front door

My back door on the other hand

Wow just realised how wrong that sounded. I do lock my back door just in case, even though my back gate is locked

:laugh2:

Yes!

Never used to in the old days, but you have to these days. The lack of community barely exists where I live now.

Front door is normally locked.
Back door is open if hubby is home as he is in and out of the house all day.

front door auto locks and the backdoor is locked unless i forget :laugh:

I do but more out of habit than safety fears.

It’s just something I grew up being told to do and that habit’s stuck. Plus I’m quite an introvert so having the door locked makes me feel like I’m in my private zone that no-one can disturb (unless someone bloody knocks on the door).

Front door yes as otherwise it would be walk in

Back door no

I lock it if I’m going to put on headphones (for gaming/music) and I’m alone in the house, because I wouldn’t hear it open. Other than that, no.

If I've been out and come back in I don't often lock the door behind me during the day. Back door is usually open as my boy is in and out all the bloody time

Not unless I am upstairs for a while, or in the bath. Otherwise people try to walk right in and will break the door or walk into it.

Only if I’m alone and go to the loo/in the shower or something like that.

Otherwise I’m not bothered, just the back door anyway and there’s a rickety fence any intruders would need to get over to get in so I’d hear them before I saw them! Plus, two dogs, only one of which is an effective “guard dog”.

Guess which one’s the wimp - the tiny Jack Russell or the big five stone Bulldog? :joker:

As soon as I get in I put the key in the door from the inside out of habit/so I know where it is and so I usually lock the door when I do that

Yes, because I live alone and it makes me feel safer.

Of course.

Why not?

when i lived in the valley the house was unlocked 24/7 when i was out or in

Locking a door whilst in i have genuinely never heard of ?

Literally don't feel scared, I live in a very quiet area, know most of my neighbours etc been here 20 years and never had an issue plus my dog goes mental if anyone is near the gate

OK.

Yes it's common sense , locking the doors isn't just a night time thing.

Yes, having a Staffie I can't have doors open for anyone to walk in.
