(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best doorsteps

Congratulations! Bring one of these with you for good luck.

The other thing that would be smart is for you to have your own cameras. You can get them on Amazon. Or you can order them from a retailer's website and pick them up at the store so you don't have to have them mailed to the house.

The other thing you can do is get one of these for your bedroom door. https://smile.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Security-Adjustable-White/dp/B0002YUX8I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539553114&sr=8-4&keywords=door+stopper I have seen them at Target. Or, there is thishttps://smile.amazon.com/Home-Premium-Rubber-Door-Stopper/dp/B01NGYKARV/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1539553114&sr=8-5&keywords=door+stopper. It won't work as well to block the door from the outside, but is cheaper and not as visible and easier to hide. A deadbolt would be best, but N's kinda resent that.

I know this is going to sound silly, but consider replacing all 4 with door stoppers. They can actually look really nice, especially with brushed metal, and don't look at all like door stops when actually in place. If you PM me in ~5.5 hours, I'll send you a pic of my setup.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET THIS FOR HIS DOOR

I use these on my entry doors. Inexpensive and pretty solid:

Does YOUR monster-in-law barge in without knocking? Do YOU have issues with people opening doors that should remain closed? Have YOUR private moments been rudely interrupted by someone who can't fucking fathom the meaning of a locked barrier?

Try: Doorstop alarms!

120db alarm when triggered. I don't know exactly what her reaction will be, but I can guarantee it will be worth a chuckle.

Well good news and bad news. Bad news: they don’t remember and I can’t find it ANYWHERE online. Only thing closest to it is called Spring, but it’s a kickstarter. Good news: rubber door wedges should be just fine for your purposes I’d assume. They’re about $3-9 at Walmart, and I have provided a link below. You could try finding the door stopper that my parents bought by looking around in Walmart, it could be there. https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Stoppers-Doorstop-Wedges-Nonslip/dp/B07CMT5L9B

First, you should talk to your extended family to see what they use in their home. They may be able to bring the larger, more expensive items (e.g. baby gates) with them depending on how they're traveling. But I've also made a list below.

Full disclosure: Most of this comes from research and talking to my parent friends since I only have a two week old. Some of these might be unnecessary depending on your home - they're just suggestions.

• Cabinet latches - You'll want them for drawers, cabinet doors, the refrigerator, and even your toilet seat cover. There are many different kinds, so shop around.
  
  
• Cord wraps - If you have venetian blinds (or something similar), you'll want to be able to tie up the excess cord since it's a choking hazard.
  
  
• Outlet covers - they make different kinds: covers that plug directly into outlets, plastic boxes that completely cover outlets that already have cords plugged into them, and cases that go around surge protectors.
  
  
• Stove knob covers if the knobs on your range/oven can be reached by a toddler. These are especially important if you have a gas range and don't want your house to blow up.
  
  
• Door knob covers - In case the toddler or four year old wants to wander into rooms it shouldn't.
  
  
• Baby Gates - if you have stairs, you'll need a gate at the top and bottom
  
  
• Solid plastic door stoppers - instead of the metal door stoppers with plastic toppers, which can be pried off and choked on. I'm not sure how necessary these are, but they're worth reviewing.
  

It's nice to finally have something that's there all the time. For a while, I was using a sledge hammer, and then a 5 gallon bucket that was about 1/3 of the way filled with concrete. The bucket would always fill up with water after the rain, and I'd always get water on me when trying to move it.

You can buy one on Amazon if you don't want to or have time to make one.

Does it keep the door from marring the wall?

Like the loop acts as a spring to keep it from putting a hole in the wall.

Something like this: HAUSPROFI Door Knob Bumper, Door Handle Bumper, Door Handle Stopper - Door Stopper Wall Protector for Door Handle Office Home Protect Walls from Damage 10Pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YB6NVKB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hoz4DbN3M61N8

I found this from a simple google search. But it's pretty expensive ($9+s&h).

Amazon has them for like 15 bucks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073N3P9C4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PueQAbHRK9XWN

You're welcome.

Something like this placed under the backside of the door at the appropriate opening, perhaps? Or just a heavy weight depending on how big your dog is.

Plenty of different styles of baseboard stops out there. Pretty much anything beyond the bog standard spring kind is going to be quieter.

These claim to be sound dampening: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3P9CZ1/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_hfUJDb7PXEYKN

carry a door stopper like https://www.amazon.com/Products-Stoppy-Universal-Assorted-Colors/dp/B00OTWCHWE

Something like this.

Something like these probably

On the non-technical side, I would say one of the most helpful things I added to my case was a few door stops.

You can go the cheap route with a few of the rubber ones from a box store, or I got a few of these. Haven't let me down yet.

You should have door mutes/silencers that the door bumps into to keep it back against strike. Also helps with slamming noise. Most doors are designed to impact those right as the latch makes it home. These are often removed during renos/painting/whatever and never reinstalled.

This one is worse

You could always get one of these.

Edit: link for actually buying one.

One of those kick-down door stops that bolts to the inside of the door.

I feel so bad about this whole situation. You could try 'locking' your door like this or at least put something heavy or a wedge against it from inside. Please consider letting your mom know about the gore porn, at least. It's still very bad.

>Hi tumors, im sorry you all have a door stop sized penis.

Also, really shows where their priorities are at
