Unless we are playing or working outside. During the week it's mostly entering and exiting via the automatic garage door, closing it behind us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873440 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:35:41 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1873440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually yes. It bothers me if its not locked. I don't like the back door being unlocked either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873434 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:18:34 +0000 Dandelion 1873434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not during the day. Just at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873424 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:00:20 +0000 getjazzy 1873424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873422 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:57:29 +0000 travellingbee 1873422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but really only because our son can get out and does get out otherwise. One time my DH forgot and I found him in the street when I took my eyes off of him for a minute to chop an onion. Luckily we are in a gated community with no traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873421 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:57:18 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1873421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always yes. It is just a habit for me. I don't usually lock the door that leads to the garage though (but the garage door itself is closed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873418 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:55:00 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1873418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep my doors locked and bolted all the time. If I'm home alone at night/early morning/whenever the sun isn't up, I keep the alarm set too. At night, we lock, set the alarm and set the motion detector</p> <p>It's probably overreacting, because we went away for three days and accidentally left the back door unlocked (but the alarm + motion detector on) and nothing happened! But it makes me feel better, so I do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873286 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:57:28 +0000 teamjse 1873286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our doors are always locked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873241 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:40:25 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1873241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm kind of paranoid. It's not so Liam can't get out - our door gets stuck so it's really hard to open even if it's unlocked, but I'm just nervous about leaving it unlocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873229 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:34:15 +0000 Shutterbug 1873229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, unless we know someone is on their way over. We used to leave the front door unlocked during the day, but the houses on our street all look similar and we've had strangers walk right through our front door more than once thinking they were at our neighbor's house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1873218 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:30:23 +0000 Purpledaisy 1873218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1872759 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:52:30 +0000 stiletto_mom 1872759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Suburban Canadian.</p> <p>Yes, always. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1872610 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:47:52 +0000 JerricaBenton 1872610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly keep them locked. Sometimes LO and the dog like to sit and watch out the front door so I'll open it but lock the glass outer door, mostly so no one escapes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home/page/2#post-1872605 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:43:16 +0000 78h2o 1872605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lock the front and side door since J began to open them. She can't open the back door, so I often leave that one unlocked. I lock all the doors at night. </p> <p>When I lived in the city, I was vigilant about locking and alarming, but where we live now, I feel pretty comfortable and it's more hit or miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872581 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:30:34 +0000 lamariniere 1872581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a building with 2 security doors downstairs. Our apartment door is automatically locked when closed, but at night, we turn the deadbolt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872580 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:30:17 +0000 tinyperson 1872580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely - we live in the city on a busy street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872577 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:26:48 +0000 loveisstrange 1872577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872576 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:26:03 +0000 Mamaof2 1872576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872568 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:20:43 +0000 bushelandapeck 1872568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't used to but now that DS can open the door on his own, I do. It's for his safety, not because I feel like we need to otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872567 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 08:20:39 +0000 Boheme 1872567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: haha!

The garage is never locked though, and most of the time the car isn't either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872440 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 06:40:42 +0000 Ajsmommy 1872440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all the time but DH doesn't.. he thinks I am OCD about it! But I tell him the last thing I want is someone to just open it up and stroll on in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872425 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 06:10:51 +0000 looch 1872425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always locked, especially the door from the garage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872398 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:33:11 +0000 candymum 1872398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always locked the second we go in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872385 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 00:27:49 +0000 simplyfelicity 1872385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the day, it's hit or miss but always at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872383 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 00:13:12 +0000 sunny 1872383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. To be honest I didn't know people left doors open! It freaks me out a little if I realize that I forgot to lock it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872276 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 20:37:42 +0000 Caly 1872276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! I do out of habit...we live in a good neighborhood, but you can never be too careful. Figure it's a good habit to keep.</p> <p>Eta: on the topic of locked doors, a few mins ago I heard a drugged deranged man broke down the door to my brothers house, he was saying "shoot me." After my brother called 9-11, the guy ran out where he ran at a neighbor &amp; then a cop before he was subdued and arrested. And this is a nice neighborhood and in broad daylight. That's all I know so far...crazy. Just solidifies my rule of locking the door! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872272 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 20:35:12 +0000 dolphin 1872272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-door-when-youre-home#post-1872268 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 20:32:37 +0000 ShootingStar 1872268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we lock them out of habit when we come in. Plus it makes it easier at night since we don't have to go around making sure every door's locked. </p>
