After i moved into my current house i noticed that the doorknob on my back door had a very annoying feature.
How stop a door lock tape.
Pile heavy objects furniture in the doorway to create obstacles if an attacker gets the door open.
Both of those neighbors are out of town.
Prevent your doorknob from locking you out.
Now place a piece of tape across the small knob you use to lock unlock the door so that it doesn t move.
They did remove the tape.
I noticed blue tape on the street making a huge line.
6 install a door silencer.
Press the foam tape into place along the entire length of the doorframe and voila done.
So i called the ingleside police and asked them to do a drive by exterior visit.

Stick a thumb tack or push pin into the door jam high enough that he can t reach it.
First unlock the door.
They did and came over afterwards.
The doorknob on the interior side would turn and open the door whether the knob was locked or unlocked.
Tape a broom handle perpendicular to the door frame tying the handle to the doorknob to hold the door shut.
This will prevent the door from shutting fully and thus locking but you can remove it easily if you need to shut the door.
Didnt seem to think anything of the blue tape or the door being open.
My family has always had the so.
Next take off the handle and glue the knob in place so that it cannot be operated.
So hopefully all is well.
