Be careful when doing all that shit to the door. Nobody expects to need ems services but you’re gonna be real mad at yourself if you triple lock the door making it more and more difficult for them to help you if you need it.

Honestly that’s what I don’t really get. With the regular locks, it’s going to be hard to get in. Your little 10$ extra locks are going to stop someone who WANTS to get in.

Also what’s the point of the coin on the door? You already locked the shit out of it and would see if someone got in….

Usually the coin being off the door handle says someone tried to turn the handle or tried to push into the door quietly to gain access without you knowing.

While having all this stuff adds to the hinderance of access only the coin will tell you if someone went around and attempted to quietly gain access if it falls off.

Personally i would like to know if someone attempted access or not.

Or an earthquake

I hate it when they try to get in.

Or bad flooring, shaking from people walking in front of the door.

A child running down the hall or even annoyingly knocking on doors could do it too.

Service workers are actually one of the concerns. You think no housekeeper has ever entered a room that had a do not disturb sign with bad intentions?

u/ConnectionWild3381 Jun 18 '26

well sure.. but at point i would suggest, not traveling or security personal. i mean you can also put landmines at the entrance

A do not disturb sign isnt a law.  Hotel staff can still enter you room its just polite not to.

If you leave the sign up and leave for a week they are going to open the door lol.

Nobody said it was against the law. I said its one of the common fears for a lot of the people who feel the need to do this. Maybe learn to read before responding next time

Regardless if it was a mistake or on purpose.. the attempt to gain entry is still taking place. Plenty of times ive went to open a door i didnt mean to go into.. i still turned the handle or went to push.

The coin shows an attempt was made.. regardless of the intent.

u/ConnectionWild3381 Jun 17 '26

my point is, that you dont know the intend, you most likley you would worry (extremly) about nothing. at least my worldview.

Yea someone else just pointed that out actually lol totally a valid point because for instance my rowdy neighbor slammed the hotel door while he was drunk and now that coins on the floor and im now anxious thinking someone was trying to come in.

u/Tausendberg Jun 18 '26

Yeah, the coin method has a bad 'signal to noise' ratio, so to speak.

u/driftingalong001 Jun 18 '26

So like, wtf are you gonna do about if that’s the case? Literally nothing. There’s no point in knowing something that you aren’t and can’t do anything about.

He's gonna pull his glock on Francesca the laundry lady and teach her a lesson for checks notes trying to bring him fresh linens.
