put that knife away, why are you leaving a weapon out for possible assailants
put wedges under your doors
I can get to it quicker than anyone else could. Nobody would get through the door without me hearing (their best option would be giving the door a good shoulder until either the door frame collapses, or the hinges snap.
don't be foolish, you can't be awake 24 hours
But I imagine I can be fairly easily woken up if somebody is beating down my door
what about stealthy people?
Don't know how they'd get in. You could probably pick the lock, but I don't think he knows how to do that. Can't shimmy the lock because it's a deadbolt. Can't get through the window because it's locked (it's one of those old school locks you have to turn to lock/unlock), can't unlock it from outside. As far as I can tell that just leaves the option of breaking the window, or applying enough force to the door that the hinges or door frame break off. Both of those things make noise
