Is safety glass used in all exterior home doors? I locked myself out today, without keys, shoes, or cellphone, and with my oven on. None of my neighbors are home during the day, so I decided I had to get inside somehow. We have a back door with the top half of the door being glass with wood squares forming or simulating panes. I tried to break out one pane with a hammer and after beating on the glass with all my might for quite awhile it didn't break. I was finally able to use a long flathead screwdriver between the door knob and frame and pop open the door (which is ok because we also have a dead bolt we can use). Now I'm wondering if all exterior doors have safety glass? This made me feel much better about break-ins considering I had such a horrible time breaking into my own home!

Can my lanlord shut off our utilities, remove our doors, and enter my home wihout me, to evict me faster? my lanlord, also an attorney, gave us a 24 hour eviction notice. since then, he has removed our outside doors to our residence, plus 2 inside doors, shut off our utilities, and put some of my belongings that I had packed into a trash pile. we have 2 small children (ages 6 & 8). He has come over and harassed us almost everyday, even getting in my daughters face and yelling at her, yelling all kinds of profanities. We had no lease, and my husband worked for him to pay the rent, until he fired almost all of his workers. My husband then had a verbal agreement that if he fixed the roof of the garage that would be one month's rent. He evicted us anyway, He now enters the home with his workers anytime he chooses, because he wants to turn the house into a haunted house. I have stayed with friends about 30 miles away for the last few days, but most of our belongings are still in the house and I don't want them destroyed. I don't have a car that runs, so I have no way to get back and get them This is NOT a court ordered eviction, he gave us a 24 hour notice typed up by his office staff. He continually is at our house harassing us, even my children. He yells profanities at our children, has ran our names down in the town we live in so we can;t get a job, therefore not having enough money to rent somewhere else. He threw some of the things I had packed and sitting by my doorway in a trash pile, saying that nothing we had was worth anything. He is in the house constantly, because he is turning it into a haunted house. (it use to be an old two story doctor's office) We have stayed with friends for about 4 days now, but don't have a car to go back, and get our things, even clothes. The man is an attorney, but I don't feel like any of this is legal. He removed doors inside as well, and when I got doors to hang myself, he came and removed them also.

When making home improvements, which is of more value in the long run - Pocket Doors or Interior French Doors?
