Use Tape to Prevent Kids From Locking Themselves
Many parents have been in the stressful situation of their kids locking themselves in a room and not being able to figure out how to get out of there. With toddlers running around the house, accidents do happen and for parents, the best defense is a good offense.
Some simple tape is all you need to avoid such incidents. Just use painter’s tape over the locking mechanism on the side like you can see in the picture and that will keep the door from locking even if they bang it shut. That’s how straightforward and effective this hack is.
