What time do you usually leave? How long are you away from the house at the longest stretch throughout an average day? Are there any viscious dogs or cats guarding the property? Would you happen to know the frequency of police patrols in your neighborhood? Is there a neighborhood watch in place? What's the shortest route to the nearest busy highway? Is there any item of particular value that pawn shops or fences would accept questions unasked? Cone on, work with me here, please. ~
The back door, which is located at the front of the house, is permanently nailed shut as to not allow bad guys to enter the main entrance. They would have to go to the back door, which is in the front of the house where we could see them and easily apprehend them.
Yes, two are always closed. A side garage door is locked and blocked by my tool box. I have an escape door in my upstairs office that is padlocked and blocked by a book shelf.
We are remodeling so many openings have no doors on them. I'm assuming those now don't count. No. We lock our front door rarely and our back door is not approachable because of the boxes in the way. There are boots by the front door. I've always wondered about that.

Both front doors and back doors of my house are always closed because the builders installed them wrong. The outside (storm door) opens inward and the inside door opens outward so it is impossible to get in or out of the place.
