My family does it intensly. Everyone can be in the house or the person can be outside but the doors and windows must be locked all the time. We used to just leave everything unlocked unles we were sleeping or out but after we were robbe our doors are always locked!
My friends all keep their houses wide open, what about you?

Locking your house at any time is a very good idea. Two of my family's houses got robbed and I got tired because here in Romania the police [like almost anything] it's how should I call it... low quality?
So yes lock it up..There's nothing to lose and you never know when you might get some "surprise guests".

"Suprise guests" is right. My family isnt just scared of robbers and such but also of home invaders that can hurt people in the house. I truly believe this is my father's greatest fear and why we have to lock the doors so much.

Hi, artsy. I keep all of my windows and doors securely locked even if it is in the day time. That is just how I am. I don't feel safe with my doors wide open even in the day time. They have to be locked even if I am standing in the same room as the door that is opened.

Yeah, I guess Ihave a bit of a mental disorder (such as obsessive compulsive) as I do the same thing, but I think it's a lot safer of a disease than some. It's just sad that no one can trust their own neighborhoods anymore,.

I believe we have the same experience and trauma, if you may call it that. We used to just leave our front doors open until just recently a thief came in and stole my cellphone and money in a quick sweep. It was then that the close door policy was exercised at all times.
