    Pretty much locked at all times. I live in a large city and have trout worth stealing.

    I keep the front of my tent zipped up at all times.

    At my student house, it's one of those doors that locks when you close it anyway, there's a secondary lock that is never on though. You can't get in without a key.

    At my parents house we have to have the front door locked because my dog is an escapologist and likes to open doors all the time.

    I wish you'd do the same with your pants.

    EDIT: Well, now I look weird.

    At my house, it's a Yale lock which as Tara has mentioned, they lock automatically because essentially they're a latch with a key. Ironically it's a valid term to say "The door is on the latch" when you engage a small locking mechanism what prevents the tumbler from being turned with the "latch" component retracted so the front door stays open.

    At my mom's it's one of those upvc doors that double glazing firms install. It has like 6 locks built in to it which engage on a lift of the door handle and locks with a key both inside and out. However when people are awake and in the house (during the day for example) the door is often unlocked.

    If I go out and come back, I tend to leave the front door open when I get back. However, this doesn't happen too often, so most of the time the door is always locked.

    Just because you keep your door locked when you're home doesn't mean you're paranoid. Sweeping generalization.

    We keep our door locked, and it's muscle habit for me to lock the door as soon as I've walked in it.

    But, to be fair, if we WERE paranoid, no one would blame us after that time we had this random stranger walk into our house when it was open, realize they were in the wrong house, and walk back out.

    All the time. I don't want any cat burglars to steal my cat.

    Doors are finally being made available to the Polish population for the first time in Summer 2013. Pre-order yours now!

    I don't think they're being serious with that.
