In the US do you usually have doors with a handle that you can just Open when you have not locked or the ones where they go into like half-lock as soon as they close?
 
nah, I'm in an apartment. Third floor. Ain't no one carrying my valuables 3 floors in front of everyone.

The gf and I have our own places still. That gets locked over night when I'm not there. I never lock it. My Pitt will take care of anything as far as I'm concerned

I use to not lock the house if I was home until around 2004(wife). Now our doors are locked all the time.

I'm in such a habit now...even if I'm outback with kids and I walk in...I've locked the door. Kids didn't like that.



Didn't know you had kids though man I thouht you were really young
I'm old(48) with a young daughter (5)
 
Chubby it all depends on the type of lock a person has on their doors,there is no standard lock.
Eddie you must have a very well behaved pit to leave him in the home alone without him tearing the place to shreds.
 
Sounds like you've given him a good life.
 
I trust people, but I don't trust people

my doors are always locked. always. even if my daughter goes next door to play with the neighbor's kid, I lock my door and when she comes home she rings the doorbell

when Jehovah's witness come I crack the door to tell them i'm not interested but I never take the chain off the door, lol. and yet, when my neighbor asked if I can take him to pick up his daughter from school one time because his wife got hung up at work, I just handed him my keys and let him drive my car by himself to pick up his daughter.

I know that might be weird, but like I said, I trust people, but I don't trust people
 
I don't even bother to open the door for solicitors.My front door has a a window so I simply wave them off and I don't even like to lend my car to the wife and other family members let alone a neighbor lol....
 
I grew up in a small town in Oregon and we never locked our doors, not even if we were gone on vacation for a week. When my parents sold the house to some Californians in 1989 they were kind of pissed when my parents told them that we didn't actually have a key for the front door.

My dad also never took the keys out of his truck. Only once in thirty-plus years of this did his truck get stolen. Some drunk drove it home from the bar - his wife called the next day and apologized.

We live in the country these days and I do lock my doors when I'm gone most of the time. My son is only five (I'm another old dad at 42) so I have a while to decide. H can't really go anywhere on his own (other than the woods out back) until he is driving as we live seven miles from town, so I imagine his first house key will be when he gets the keys to a car.
