Speaking of hangers, you can use them to create a secondary lock on your door. Slide the door handle and the latch into the center of the hanger, or, if they’re too far apart, link two hangers together by putting the hook of one into the corner of the other, then putting the free hook over the latch and the opposite corner of the other over the door handle. This can help you feel more secure while you sleep and prevent criminals from breaking into your room by unlatching the locks on the door.
For added protection, tuck awashcloth or small towel into the latch. This will prevent anyone with a wire or any other device that can slide through the crack in the door from doing so, keeping you safer while you sleep.
You can also put a lint roller at the base of your door; the friction against the carpet will help prevent potential intruders from opening it. In the morning, peel off the layer of paper that touched the floor and use it for its original purpose.
