Dropping off early

[Inspired by Reggio]

I wish I lived somewhere I felt safe to leave my door open

I use to be the same way Apples and Bananas ~ open door policy where they just came in. But in the past couple years we've had daytime home invasions in this neck of the woods and another time someone robbed a bank and took refuge in a house 4 doors down from me and we had our area 'locked down' and swat teams on the street and at each house

So now my door is now ALWAYS locked here even when we are home and clients have to 'knock or ring' .... only time it is not locked is if I have a client who has arrived and not 'left' and another one shows up for them.

When we upgraded our door I had order that an extra 'hole' be put in cause I had intended to have a keycode deadbolt put in above over the handle so I could have that locked during business hours but give clients a code to let themselves in and lock it when they leave again ... and than the door handle would house a second deadbolt that would be locked anytime we are not open for business .... however the bloody door game and they made the upper deadbolt hole 'smaller' than the door handle whole cause apparently 'standard deadbolts' are smaller but the key code lock will not fit cause it is not 'standard size deadbolt' it is door handle size whole ~ so not it sits there waiting for us to find someone who is willing to make the hole 'bigger' for us ~ so far no one is willing to try cause its a stainless steel door and if they 'screw up' it is not 'fixable'

Sorry did not mean to spread my paranoia

LOL, I live in a fairly safe area and lucky for me I have family on both sides of me always home. As it is my backdoor is always unlocked cause my hubby comes home through the back door several times during the day, he works close. My set up is just really good for a daycare arrangement.
