Dead-Bolting The Door Without A Key

The Turner lock form Safety by Design ($45) allows you to secure the dead bolt from the outside by twisting the collar, so you don't have to fumble for your keys. You do need a key to get back in.

Scared you'll lock yourself out, try one of these:


Designed like a lockbox, the GE KeySafe Original Slimline ($36) attaches to the side of your house (or any flat surface) and opens only with a code.


Unscrew the top of the Sprinkler Key Hider ($7) and put your key inside. Then plant the phony sprinkler in your garden or on your lawn - it'll look like the real thing.
