The Secret Life of Rubber Bands: Door Hero Edition
Ah, the humble rubber band. It sits quietly in your junk drawer, biding its time among broken paper clips and expired coupons, waiting for the day it can fulfill its destiny. That day is now. By twisting a rubber band around your door handles, you can magically transform it into a lock-busting, door-silencing superhero. The rubber band wraps around both knobs or the latch itself, keeping that sneaky latch from extending into the strike plate — basically telling your door, “Not today, pal.”
Why would you want to do this, you ask? Maybe you’ve got a door that thinks it’s in a wind tunnel and enjoys slamming shut like it’s in a drama series. Or perhaps you’re doing some temporary rearranging and don’t want to get locked out like a sitcom character in a bathrobe. Whatever your reason, this trick is a cheap, easy way to keep a door unlocked and civilized — no power tools, no sorcery, just good old-fashioned rubber ingenuity.
