Do you always lock your house?

[Jayce2013]

ALWAYS!!! better safe than sorry

[Jayce2013]

Yeah we do most of the time.  I heard many people don't in Europe.

And that's very funny because in Europe they think it's mainly American that never lock their doors!! And you see it constantly in movies... how people get in unannounced... and killers too!!

I lock both my doors even if I am in the house I'm alone alot and I don't want someone even if I know them to just breeze in and scare the heck outta me

[Sendmicheck]

I always keep my door locked.

We have gotten to the place where we always keep all of our doors closed and locked but we grew up in an environment where we never locked our door.

[minioncookies]

[ghunter]

Yes, most of the time I lock my doors but not always.

I usually always lock my home, especially before bed and while I am not home.  On rare occasions I do not like when I expect people to be showing up.

Yes. I don't care if I'm home or not, you never know who will want to unexpectedly come in with bad intentions. Luckily, our apartment building has a locked exterior door which makes me feel a little safer. But in all honesty, half the time the thing is propped open with a rug or something for people who are too lazy to bring their key with them when they step out. That is an open invitation for someone to come in and wreak havoc. We haven't had any problems in the time we lived there, so hopefully it stays that way!

I live in on a public street and even though we are in an enclosed neighborhood, the townhouse neighborhood, which is on the other side of the hill (and our main street does not connect to them, they have to walk over the hill to get to us) always parks in front of our houses.  It gets worse each year, and with them comes their trash (which they do not hesitate to throw in our front yards or on our streets) and their crime.  We've had our cars broken into, a neighbor had his house set on fire (from the outside that faces the townhouses) and our homes broken into.  All this starting when they started parking on our street.  So yes, not only do I and my neighbors lock our doors, but we started putting up fences if we didn't have them already (our neighborhood is shaped like a T so the corner houses that have yards that face the street didn't have backyard fences but now they do) and locks our gates.  I just recently put a lock on my backyard gate (the door that faces the street between my house and my neighbors) because I got tired of finding it 'mysterious opened'.  Like I said, all this started when that townhouse neighborhood started claiming our street as theirs.  They've even gone so far as to argue with us that they have more of a right to park in front of our own home than we do.  With these kind of people in my neighborhood, yes, I make sure ever lock and window is secure whether I am home or not.

I was raised to always lock the doors! I still check everything at night, my oldest daughter likes to leave everything open. She doesn't care.

[jgw007]

Yes.

[mrrangerrick]

I live in Southern California...it's a must!!! If I didn't lock my door every time I left, I'd get robbed. No doubt about it.

I always lock the doors. It’s common sense. Nobody wants intruders or unwanted trouble such as thieves to come inside the home uninvited.
