[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come from a large family. We never used our front door. It opened into the fancy part of our small home. All our friends and neighbors came around to the back door. It was weird when someone knocked on the front door. [/quote]

My mom is plastic knife lady (why did everyone here validate her?!) and also has a front door that’s off-limits. There hasn’t been a key for years and at one point the entire door had to be replaced because everything got stuck from disuse.[/quote]

Same. My grandmother's front door was oriented to the street- but anyone pulling in with a vehicle entered from the covered porch along the back of the home.

One time they arrived home to the smell of burning and they finally found the source- someone canvassing for a political candidate stuck a postcard flyer in the corner of the doorbell and it shorted out (luckily it arced and burned but didn't spread a fire). They also saw signs that someone had tried to break in that way previously (They NEVER even went up these stairs or looked at the door). They were so pissed they called that political candidate's office (their same political party) to complain. After that, my grandfather removed the doorbell and added signage to direct anyone to the back door. They had to hammer out the door and shave the sides so it would actually open/close in case of an emergency. And after that they made it a point to always head up to the front door once in a while to make sure everything was normal.[/quote]
