Lay a small piece of thread, or dental floss in the crack between the door and the jamb, or even across the knob. When you come back, and the thread is no longer where you left it, you'll know someone used that door.
A piece of scotch tape stuck to the bottom of the door and the door clash will also show if the door has been opened.
Set a booby trap
Place a glass of water on the ground so that if the door swings open, the water will spill. Ideally, you have a rug or mat that will take longer to dry, so the intruder can't just clean up the mess and reset the trap before you return.
If your door is ajar and you left it locked, you can be sure someone is inside. Alternately, you might notice a window which is open or smashed in, or a door handle which has been dented as if by a hammer or other heavy object. These signs indicate that someone is in your house who shouldn't be there.
Unless there's an emergency, don't knock or ring the doorbell until 9 a.m. (Close friends and family may be fine with you coming over earlier, but assumptions should never be made here; communication is key.)
Opening a door for someone, holding a door open for the person behind you, or gesturing another to pass through first, is simple kindness. It's as much of a standard of polite behavior as not crowding in a line or cutting in the path of another pedestrian on the sidewalk.
Butt hinges allow for the doors to be mortised to the opening creating small gaps perfect for exterior entrance doors, for security and energy efficiency. What makes Saloon Door Hinges Different? Saloon Door Hinges allow a door to swing in both directions and automatically return the door to the center position.
While most exterior doors do, in fact, swing inward, some of them swing outward. Outward-swinging exterior doors are more resistant to severe weather than inward-swinging doors.
The majority of external doors will open inwards. This is particularly so in the case of front doors. You get home, you unlock the door, and you push.
I would peep through the hole made in the door. If he/she is one of my family members or relatives, I would open the door. Otherwise I would ask him/her name and purpose of visit and then would say to him/her to come later in the presence of my parents.
Often burglars will knock on the door to case out your home and see if anyone is there. If you go to the door, they'll pretend to be offering a service such as lawn mowing or tree trimming. If no one comes to the door – they often break in and burglarize your house.
Negative, aggressive reaction to external stimuli — like knocking on your door, inbound phone calls or meeting an old classmate in the coffeeshop — is a prime symptom of serotonin deprivation, which, in turn, is linked to depression and a whole bunch of other health problems.
If you haven't, here's the gist: One character tells another guy to open the car door for his date. If by the time he gets to his door the girl hasn't reached over and unlocked the door for him (this was before there were automatic door locks), then he advises him to dump her.
Today, whoever arrives first enters first and pushes. If a door is heavy, the man may want to go first and push for the woman. But it's fine for women to go first. Man and man: Whoever arrives first goes first.
The best time to knock is during the late afternoon, between 4:30 P.M and 6:30 P.M. Too early, and people won't be home from work yet or they'll just be getting home, and won't necessarily be in the mood to talk.
If it is a public room, like a kitchen, living room, or waiting room, it is perfectly fine to walk in without knocking. If it is a private area, like a bedroom, private office, bathroom, or a trailer , it is rude (and could be awkward) to enter without knocking first.
If your prospects work 9-to-5 jobs, you'll have the best chance at catching them if you knock on their door between 5 pm and 9 pm. But, if you're targeting retired folks, you'd be much better off visiting during mid-day.
