Look Before You Open the Door

A reminder of why it is a good idea to keep the doors to your house or apartment locked, and look to see who is at the door before answering. "Naked Man Goes on Fatal Stabbing Spree in New York City."

If you do answer the door, and have shoes on, keep your foot behind the door and only open it a short ways. If you use a door chain, make sure it is anchored with wood screws that go all of the way into the wall stud. This will probably require you to "upgrade" the screws that come with a door chain, since they are generally too short. Of course, a security door would be useful.
