The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

Broken Locks

Have a bedroom door that should never be locked? Use a rubber band for peace of mind! Just loop the rubber band around a doorknob, covering the latch bolt so that it is closed into the door. Loop the other end of the rubber band over the opposite doorknob. Done!
