leestar Posted October 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2019 In just a few weeks I will be cruising with my boyfriend and his sons ages 10 and 8. The boys tend to open doors without knocking. We are in an H4 on the Escape. I believe the master bedroom door is a pocket door. Any thoughts on how to "lock" this door? Or any device I can purchase? Thank you.

Ztras Posted October 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2019 If the boys walk in on an embarrassing situation once, they probably never, ever, will again. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPgal Posted October 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don't see a way to lock that slider, but in our 2BR on the Jade we could lock the door to the mini-room from the hallway. I wasn't comfortable with that as it seems like a life safety issue for those who might be trapped in that room with no alternate method of escape. I do agree with Ztras that kiddos will generally learn the first time they walk in on something they shouldn't have. Also, at 8 &10 they should understand basic human reasoning and explaining that the door will only be closed when they aren't welcome in the room. They can knock and wait in the event of an emergency. Enjoy the room, it's a lot of space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted October 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well, not something that would mount on the door, but maybe a Parental Spinal Implant? jj Unless they are special needs kids, shouldn’t they be old enough to knock and wait for an answer before opening a door? I would think Dad/BF could carefully & firmly instruct them, then follow up with appropriate reinforcement (positive or negative as he sees fit). You might have your own positive and negative reinforcement options for BF based on your level of concern that door will be inappropriately opened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Tell them when the door is closed they are Not allowed to come in unless they have permission. I would make this perfectly clear as soon as you get on. They have their room and you and your boyfriend have yours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Monica887 Posted October 4, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2019 What about 2 command hooks, mounted horizonally, one on the door/one on the frame, and then hooked together with a rubber band or hair tie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted October 4, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Just tell the kids not to open the doors when they are closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
