so recently i was cooking dinner while my children were watching tv. 5 minutes later, i went to check up on my kids and i saw a stranger in my living room! after i shooed him out, my 5 year old told me my 3 year old opened the door for the stranger. how to i keep this from happening again? i have a hollow door, but i want to install a chain lock. is there any other way to keep my children from opening doors fo strangers? im on a budget so i cant buy a new door and put a chain lock on it

Answer:
With a chain the door can still be opened a few inches, making it easy for someone to kick in. A sliding bolt would be better. Put it high enough so your kids can’t reach it. The best thing is just tell the kids to never do that again. A three year old is old enough to understand, Never open the door to strangers.
