One cause of friction in our household is when I go down to the basement to get tools/parts and leave the door at the top of the stairs ajar knowing I'll have my hands too full when I come up to turn the knob. If while I’m down there my spouse walks by, she will “helpfully” fully close the door. I've resisted putting lever-style passage latches on that door because we often have small children as visitors and those are too easily operated. Now, aiming for domestic tranquility. I’m going to see if I can get a hybrid set--knob outside, lever inside. Edited 19 hours ago by Handy Don 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBT has a "thing" for closing cabinets. ...even if I'm in the middle of doing something completely silly like putting away dishes or food. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
