Oh yes.
I always laugh at these towns where they say- oh we NEVER lock our doors here.
Come on.
That is just asking for trouble.

We lock the door. When we finish renovations we are getting an alarm.

Re: Do you lock your front door?

I lock my doors every time DH and I are not home, or if we are home it is usually unlocked until about 8pm, then we lock them whether we are home or not.

Re: Do you lock your front door?

Only when we go to bed or if we'll be gone for the whole day. If I run to 7-11 I'll leave it open.

I also leave my car running when I run into stores.

Re: Do you lock your front door?

ALWAYS! But I do have a friend who's family never locks their doors. They live in a nice area in Suffolk but they're right by a bar! More than once they've had drunk people stumble into their house in the middle of the night. But they keep leaving their doors unlocked! Chat Icon

Re: Do you lock your front door?

I have family upstate that never locks their doors, they even leave their keys in their cars unlocked. I think this is nuts! I live in a very safe neighborhood w/my driveway gated and I still always lock my doors, I'm paranoid!

Only when I'm not home. I like to leave the front door open so I can see outside when I'm home and so DS can come and go if he's playing outside with his friends.

Re: Do you lock your front door?

I never used to lock it growing up. I remember our front door was ALWAYS unlocked.

But now.. my husband is a FREAK about locking doors. The door is locked, deadbolt is on and alarm is armed.. even when we are home!Chat Icon

He recently saw a story on Oprah where a guy walked into someone's home and kidnapped a little girl while her mother was in the other room and brings it up as proof that his way is the 'right' way.

Mine is always locked. Total habit, I never leave it unlocked for even a bit!

Growing up, we never had our door locked.

Re: Do you lock your front door?

Yup.

When the front door is open during the say, I lock the storm door.


We set the alarm when we go to bed or are in for the day or when we leave.

Re: Do you lock your front door?

I said other because I have to be honest in saying this (we live in an apt building)- if I'm just running down to throw in a load of laundry or to run to 7-11 or another store that is on the same block I don't lock my apartment door (the front door to the building is ALWAYS locked and you need a key).

If it's that we're going out and won't be back for a good hour, then yes we lock both locks!

Re: Do you lock your front door?

Yes, I always lock. My DH always double locks (and locks me out).

I know people that don't ( during the day, when home, ) and I never knock when I go there. I jsut open the door & say " I am breaking into your house b/c you never lock your doors."

after reading "In Cold Blood" I find all Mayberry's scarier than my big city.

ETA: even if I didn't lock my doors (which I certainly do) there is no way I'd say I didn't on the internet.
