Keep your door from locking

One of the most unfortunate events that can happen to anybody is getting locked out of their house or apartment. What if there was some urgency to solve or delivery to receive, and you ran outside only to come back and find that the door is closed and you are locked out? If you wish to make sure this does not happen, then we have a hack for you.

The best part is that it only takes a few seconds to put it into place. Grab a rubber band from your kitchen drawer, yes you know which one we mean. Then put it around the front doorknob, twist it, and wrap it around the inner doorknob. That way the door will no longer lock behind you.
