The only time the door is unlocked is when we're outside doing yard work. Otherwise it's LOCKED. Though Hubs doesn't have the same concerns as me. He'd leave the door wide open, even if we weren't here!

All doors are locked regardless if we're home or not. The door to the garage remains unlocked occasionally if we're home, but that's the only one!

Usually locked. We live in a secure condo building that you need a key to get into anyway, but we usually leave the door locked unless we are just running in and out for something-- like getting the mail, something from the car downstairs, or sometimes taking the dog for a walk. But since we need our keys to get back into the building, there isn't much sense in leaving it unlocked.

In our old apartment, we had a private entrance right from the street and we would sometimes leave it unlocked when I took the dog for a walk around the block. It really probably wasn't smart-- we lived in a great neighborhood, but it is still a city street. But sometimes it was nice to not carry my keys!

always locked. the back door and sometimes garage door is left open when we're home. esp when we're out in the yard working, etc... but mostly always locked.

Always locked! Unless we have the back door open to let some air in.

It is always locked. Period. I think the locking it while we are home thing came from out old apt that had a crappy latch and if you didn't lock the door, it might open on its own. Now it is just a habit. If we leave even for 2 minutes we lock the door though. No exceptions.

Our door is always locked. We actually use MORE locks when we're home - I don't care as much if someone breaks in while we're gone since it's no threat to us physically and everything we own is insured, but it's kind of scarier to think about it happening when we're home.

During the day our door is unlocked when someone is home and not sleeping or in the shower, but we lock it at night. However, we live in an apartment and the door to the building is always locked, so our place is pretty secure even during the day (there are only 4 units in our building). I grew up in a house that was only locked when we went out of town, but it was much more rural.

Pretty much never, ever, ever lock. If we're gone for a few days, we *might* lock the front door, but never the back door so the mailman can set packages inside or the neighbor man can bring in the eggs. But we live almost 20 miles out of town, on a little, tiny gravel road, 4 miles off the paved road. If someone actually wants to go to the effort of finding our place and robbing us, well, I guess they're entitled to it and locking the door probably won't get in their way if they're that determined.
