    3 big humugous sliding bolts that only open and close in a big long key......unfortunately my neighborhood is dangerous......sometimes I freak when returning late a night trying to get the door open real fast and get in and lock up ever more real fast. I could tell some really scary stuff but then I'd be even more troubled over my situation.....

    an old worn out doorknob that is ready to fall off

    the knob takes a key...which is more of a pain in the ass than for security because the door is full of easy to break windows anyway

    My door knob is about ready to fall off...its old and the type where you push in and turn from the inside to lock the outside.

    The knob is also like 6 inches away from the door frame so i need to get a special knob so it can reach the frame when it shuts.

    This is just overall a pain to deal with.

    plain old doorknobs all around the house except for the door that separates the kitchen from the back house which has a lever.

    got a couple of curtains too. some are just for the air and one is a permanent separation of the (tool room) which will no longer be the tool room if i buy the house.

    yeah, pretty standard knob. old fashioned turning lock like broony's. sliding glass door has a little turning button sort of thing, but i'm not sure that it actually works. it locks via bar that jams it shut.

    The house where I grew up in Penn Hills (great view of three rivers stadium at the time) had door knobs throughout the interior like these;

    It was built between 1866 and 1870.

    On the inside there's a child proof plastic cover so my son stays indoors should I advert my attention for longer than 3 seconds.
