i have just change my doorknob in my front door..since i had heared that one of my neighbors had been robbed thru unlocking his front door...its a type where in if you are outside you will use the key to locked it which serves also as double purpose since you will unlikely forget your keys inside since it will not be lock without using one ..bulgar alarms here in our country is not yet been widely used and its only the rich can ever install one..well for sure im not one of them lolwhat about you guys? what do you use at present?

I live in a quiet little town where alot of that doesn't happen so it's quite safe though I do always lock my doors. If I am up here on the computer I also keep it locked as I don't always hear when someone comes to the door.

The lock on my door is the kind that you lock from the outside, and it is very secure. I like deadbolts, but I'm always afraid I will lock myself out.

Forget the doorknobs! Get a good BOOLT lock on the door..maybe two if you live in a rough area. That will keep them out. Also, make sure all windows are locked up tight. People sometime forget to close and lock the windows.
Don't make it easy for robbers and they will not be able to steal your stufff! They are basically lazy. If your house is locked good, they'll move on to someone else's place!

I don't know what kind of doorknobs we have, though some are better than others. I think it is good to have a regular self locking door knob and a deadbolt. If someone really wants to break in though they will find a way - when we were younger a teenager kicked the bottom part of our door in (it was a wood door) and then unlocked it that way to steal stuff from my parents house. They since bought a steel door, lol.
