Do you always lock the door when you are alone at home?

not really, when i am just in the living room, i keep it open, no problem, but if i am in the bathroom or in the room, i would definitely lock myslef inside the house, i cant afford to have somebody coming in when i am not aware. there has been no problem with thieves in our area and our neighbors are also good people, but of course we should not let our guards down and we should always take precautions..

[i]HI Bebs, I always do...I feel more comfortable and safer when all the doors are locked and when I hear any sound, I am so paranoid and will check it several times..LOL! I know it will be very boring without internet or mylot..Maybe I will end up eating all the time and watching tv, adding 100% weight! hahahah![/i]

I always lock my door as a precautionary. My neighbourhood is exactly the safeest place so i take precaution to make sure i dont get robbed or anything.

No, I don't ever lock my doors when I'm inside, I live out in the country and there isn't anybody around ever. I don't even lock my doors when I leave the house, we have enough dogs around here that if somebody came up, they will make such a ruckus, that it would chase anybody off, and if I'm home I know somebody is here when the dogs start barking.

I like it better if my front door is locked, especially if I am home alone. I feel a lot safer. Now it's just mechanism. When I close the front door behind me, I lock the door, without really thinking about it.

I dont lock the front or the back door if I am inside,only if it is night time,then I will turn the key,we live in a fairly quiet area here,there arent too many people around,I know that it does make sense to keep the doors locked,but on the other hand it could make you feel as though you were in a jail,sorry to sound depressing ,but it was just my train of thought.

back in my apratment yes i did teh hosue we are in now is base housing and the doors lock sutomaticly so i don't worry about it. at night we do lock the deadbolts. with that being said im not sure if i like the idea of teh doors locking automaticly. yes it's great i feel safe in my house BUT! i ahve locked my self out a few times and we can't make spare keys for the house being it's government property (hubby is military)

No we rarely lock our doors , I only started even locking the door at night last summer . You never hear of break ins where we live because everyone knows everyone . I started locking the doors last summer when a convict escaped ( he was considered armed and dangerous ) and was seen about 45 minutes from where we live and I has said that we all feel so safe and secure where we live that it would be so easy for a convict to walk into any of our homes because we don't lock our doors . Mnay had laughed at me for being foolish but I had said we would be a great target because we are close to the road but completley isolated from the roads because we are in the trees . I didn't care , better to be safe then sorry right !!

We always make it a point to lock the gate of our house because there are always people looking to steal something. This is sad.

If I'm alone at my own home, I don't lock my doors... When my daughter comes home from either school or from her friend's house, I tell her to lock the front door... I hardly use the back door to the house so it always stay locked... When I'm on vacation, I always lock the door to the room...

I do the same, as soon as my husband stepped out from the door! We are living in a foreign country that most of the people doesn't speak English so I really need to be careful and make sure the door was always lock. But my husband work in the same building where we lived, but in opinion its better to be safe than sorry. Have a nice day.

In the province, we don't usually lock our doors. Only before we go to bed. In the city, we ALWAYS lock our doors. Especially when we're alone. There have been news where young ladies were raped when they were home alone... we have to be careful. It IS a dangerous place.

yes, i do and i think we all should for security reason. it is better to be safe and sorry. better to lock it or regret later when something happen. we should cultivate this action as a good habit not only to ourselves but our family members especially young children. you can never trust what will happen when things goes wrong and it would be good to have this little protection at home.

I never used to, but got scared after hearing about a rash of break-in rapes. I live on the first floor of an apartment building so I figure there's a higher chance of someone breaking in (as opposed to climbing three flights of stairs to another room), even though I am in a quiet, pretty safe neighborhood. Paranoid I guess, but better safe than sorry!

YES! I have to. I live in an area that is very unfriendly, and there are people that are not so nice, and if you do not lock your doors if you are alone, then you are asking for it.

no, not through the day and seriously, these days robbers are way smart so really, if they wanted to get into your house and rob it, they wouldn't go through the dorr anyways...they would find another way to get in.

We like to lock the door as long as one of the family members is going out. In fact, we hardly scare of anything as we live in a very safe small place, which there is not much violence and criminals. But it is better safe than sorry. It is no harm to lock the door constantly.

Yeah I usually lock the door when I am home alone.. The only times I don't lock it is when I am expecting a visit.. Have a nice day..

Definitely yes.My hubby also reminds me to lock the door till he leves the house.he will wait at the door till i come and lock it.Sometimes it sounds funny.But it is essential now adyas.Anything can happen within fraction of seconds.Neighbours are not always at their doors.Till i come and lock the door, any stranger canstep in.So i think it is good in one way.

I usually only lock the door when I go somewhere. But when I'm at home alone, I normally don't lock my back door, which is the door I most commonly use. All the other doors in my house usually stay locked. Of course at night the back door is typically locked as well and definitely when I head to bed.
