Usually, in addition to mobile phones, keys are also one of the essential items we need to go out. When we get home from outside, we need to unlock the door with a key. And before going to bed, remember to plug in the key, what exactly does this do?
I believe that many people do not know. Because many people basically live alone when they work or study outside, especially single female friends. What should I do if I feel unsafe sleeping at night when I live alone? A lot of people may think of a few small ways.
For example, before going to bed, you must remember to lock the door, so that a safety lock is added. Others place men's clothing on the balcony or a pair of men's shoes at the door to indicate that there are men living in the home. This way others won't think you're a single woman, while also adding security.
In addition, you can also install surveillance cameras or alarms, but if you don't have these devices, it's also a good option to stick the key in the door before going to bed at night.
Today, I will share with you two tips to improve security and anti-theft awareness.
The first method is to prepare a stainless steel water bottle before going to bed and place it vertically on the doorknob. What does this do? If a thief tries to open the door of your house, the doorknob will shake and the glass will fall at the door.
When we hear a noise in the bedroom, we know that someone is trying to break into the house. Therefore, before going to bed at night, you can choose to place a stainless steel water bottle on the doorknob as a reminder.
The second method is to insert the key directly into the door, what does it do? Normally, after we close the door, there is a safety lock at the bottom. We can lock the safety lock directly, which is relatively safe. But what if you don't have a safety lock?
We can prepare a key for the back and forth lock, insert it into the door lock cylinder. Insert some first, and then turn it a little, which is equivalent to relatching from the inside. But after the reverse lock, the key must not be pulled out.
If we pull out the key , when someone else also has the key, such as a thief, he can unlock the door from the outside. Therefore, after inserting the key, be sure not to pull it out in a hurry, but to insert it firmly and lock the underneath.
Now let's try to open the door lock from the outside, we insert the key and place it vertically, please don't touch it. Now, let's prepare another key to try to open from the outside, and try again to see if we can turn it.
Because we have a key inside that locks the lock, it is impossible to open the door directly from the outside. Therefore, before going to bed at night, you must remember to insert and turn the key twice, and then place it vertically without pulling it out.
Plus, there's another benefit to sticking the key in the door. I believe that many people often forget to carry the key when they go out, so they need to find a lock picker, which costs dozens of dollars. And for people with small children at home, it can also feel unsafe when they are locked in their home.
However, after inserting the key in the door, when we go out, we can see a key stuck in the door at first glance, and then we open the door again and can directly carry the key when we go out. It's very convenient and you don't have to worry about forgetting to leave your keys at home again.
Have you learned? Remembering to stick the key in the door before going to bed at night is really powerful and every family needs it.
