Do you lock your doors in daytime ?

I make sure they’re locked when I’m home alone. They’re always locked at night.

No.

Front door is shut (can’t be opened from outside) but not locked during the day locked at night. Garden gate bolted and locked all the time unless it’s bin day, back is locked if I’m going upstairs but open otherwise. My neighbour frequently leaves his back door open even when he’s out.

Doors permanently wide open here because dogs go in and out. They would stop anyone entering, I think.

rarely open kitchen door, which is not accessible anyway, except to back garden.
front door always locked and chain on when am in.
cannot understand people not keeping their doors locked when inside; seems foolhardy, reckless.
and what about invalidating insurance ?

Yes, always lock my back door.

If you are vacuuming in a bedroom, you would never hear someone nipping in and taking your keys, handbag, whatever,

(Not that I leave my handbag near the back door).

Should do, but I don't. 12 years here, come to no harm yet.

Don't have any doors locked until I go to bed.
