Interior door locks have the screws on the outside so all you have to do is unscrew them and you are in the room.

I think your locksets are installed backwards... :lol:

he said he lock his car door

Oh, I took it to mean he has no car, and he locks his room. I guess I was wrong.


Actually I think you're the one that misinterpreted it.

He said "no car. locks his door" which I believe means he has no car and he locks his door like I originally thought.

interior locks are supposed to have the screws outside, not exterior. Read the directions when installing them.
"Outside, not exterior"? :blink:

You're wrong. And I know how to install them. I just replaced all the knob locksets in my house with levers. For privacy locks (like those in BRs and baths), the side with the push button lock and therefore the screws goes on the interior side. A side benefit is the screws are not visible from outside the room. That's why you install passage sets (no locks) on closets with the screws inside the door as the side without screws looks nicer. I also changed out the lockset on our front exterior door. The screws are on the interior side along with the lock lever.

The screws are always installed inside the door. What would be the point of a lock otherwise? :roll:

not to argue the point but when your child locks himself in and takes the little key with him how do you get in.

If its one of those privacy locks (little push button on the back of the knob, weird little key thing with what looks like a flat head screw driver) just use a nail. We used to keep a nail on top of a pic frame in the hallway just in case.

ok, time to set the record straight.

He graduated HS at 16 and came to my Univ. He dropped out years ago, and is now a very fat 22 year old who does nothing but sloth and gluttonize. (normal dinner: snack->go to wendys-> bowl of cereal-> eat wendys-> while cooking chicken->eat chicken->another snack->video games till he passes out infront of tv) and not cleaning up a single bit of it.

He lied to us about still being a student when we allowed him in. He apperently has been working the same dead end job for a few years now and can't even afford to return home to NYC with his family. Being he seldomly actually goes to work, he spends about 12 waking hours a day making a mess which I have to clean. He sees nothing wrong with the fact that every common area is filled with his DIRTY laundry, papers etc. There are no more avalible tables because they all have his crap on them.

Oh, and HE DOES NOT HAVE A CAR. HE LOCKS HIS BEDROOM DOOR.

I think my idea is just perfect then.

put a laxative in his drink or cereal bowl. I'm assuming he puts milk in it.
You say he locks his room. Put baby powder along the bottom of the door and use a hair dryer to blow it in. Shit gets into and onto everything.

Baby powder! I was trying to come up with something that could be pumped/blown under the door without causing excessive damage. An added bonus would be the powder overpowering his previously stated stank.
