Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Its keyed on both sides?
so invaders can't muscle their way inside and lock the police out
still can't figure out how OP locked it from the inside though...
Are people actually worried about this scenario? Seems like having the invader in the first place and you are pretty far down a road where the police lockout is relatively small potatoes given the situation. Also where im at a locked door in that situation won't stop cops much. If anything the criminal migh find he escalated such that special units were called to the scene.
i dunno man. i've lived in some dicey neighborhoods. i moved into one apartment and noticed that the property managers didn't even bother to replace the door frame after it was blown apart by being battering rammed open. just slapped some wood putty on there, bolted a brass plate over the edge of the door that was wrecked, and called it a day. but yea, keyed on the inside was pretty standard in those neighborhoods
I have been thinking about it and I think I have seen it at some folks places but then they basically kept a key in it anyway. I could sorta see the bolt as you should not be able to lock yourself in/out with that.
The double sided locks are so they can't bust a window and reach through to unlock it.
It doesn't have anything to do with locking the police out.
I lived in an apartment that had a keyed lock on both sides cause of a small window in the door. Was to stop someone from breaking the glass reaching in and turning the dead bolt from the inside.
I replaced the inside with a standard non keyed latch cause I was worried about fire and also felt odd if someone came over and I locked the door they would be trapped.. scare a girl you bring home in a hurry. 😆
