Closed. This can be lifesaving in case of a fire.
This right here. As a firefighter Iβve seen it. Also nowadays if the door is open I canβt sleepβ¦I just keep opening my eyes and seeing that open doorβ¦
Alright, so here's the deal.
I don't like the setup of my house, but it is what it is. My kids room door is at a 90 degree angle to ours. I've always wanted to install and practice an escape since we're on the second floor, but my ex wife had a problem with that (go figure). When I manage to get her out of my house, how do I go about retraining my kid with this? He absolutely refuses to sleep with the door shut, even with one of us in the room, and if he wakes up with it shut, it's bloody murder.
Her logic (that'd I have been overridden on) is that I am literally 4 steps away from his bed in an emergency, and I could leap in, close the door and escape through that window. Mind you I'm ~~207~~ 227(edit, she cheated on me again and I caught her on 06/05, probably caused the weight gain) lbs and deathly afraid of fire.
What I want to do is install one of the fire escape ladders that rolled through the window and practice going down that with my kid before working on getting him to close the door at night.
Is there an order I should do these things? Like door first, then escape? Or escape first, then door?

Door open. My kitty sleeps in bed with me and she likes to come and go in the night, she'd wake me up if the door was closed!
Yep, I had a cat that would paw on the door if it wasn't open. I decided to see how long he'd stick with it. My sanity broke at 2 hours. He won and it was open from that night forward.
I installed a little door in my door for this exact reason. Best of both worlds.
Door Inspector here. Do you have a permit to install a door inside another door?

Closed because many years ago a firefighter gave a fire safety talk at our elementary school. He told us to keep the door closed at night since it can give you an extra 30 minutes to escape in a fire. For some reason this advice stuck with me...
Closed, got to keep separation from the pets so I can sleep peacefully. Don't need a cat purrkoring off my face at 3 am.

Open, because cat
I feel exposed if it's swung all the way open though. I just leave it ajar for the kitty.

Closed. Even a simple hollow core door can offer 30 minutes or more of protection from smoke and indirect fire. More time for alarms to go off and get to safety.
Fire protection 101. Closed bedroom doors, interconnected smoke alarms so when one goes off they all go off, and at least two exits per room.
We have fire ladders in the upstairs rooms and, most importantly, we've done drills so we know how to use them.

Had a house fire in '88. You're a fucking hero on that with actually practicing. We were dumb but super lucky as we just lost everything and noone.

Closed. If there's a fire in the other parts of your house, you'll have more time to be alerted and escape.
Closed. Damn cat. She's not looking to snuggle into bed. She wants to wake you up. Why? Who knows.

Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it's actually fine in there and they don't need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.

Open. I have dogs and cats. I wouldn't get a second of sleep if i locked either dogs or cats out of the bedroom
Closed for AC, but open a crack to let the clingy cat in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out.
CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.

Closed unless it's too hot in my room. Feels uncomfortable leaving my door open. It'll let me hear killers coming
My country is extremely dangerous, so we have locks in every door and their reinforcements. So no, im never sleeping with a door open.

If my door is closed my kitty cat will constantly remind me of that
Open so my cats donβt kill me.
Closed because I am a mammal and I indulge in the nesting instinct.
Closed. I have an 18 year old who has been working the closing shift a lot this summer. I don't want to be woken.
Not fully closed, so the cat it's less annoying through all the night.
