Sneak Out of a House with Loud Doors

When sneaking out of a house, opening doors can be the hardest part to do without waking your parents. In this article, I'll teach you how to sneak out and pay special attention to those doors.

Steps

  1. Set up a plan. If all the lights are off, a simple decoy will be all that is necessary. If you have dark hair, take a dark shirt or pair of shorts and put it under the blanket on top of the pillow, leaving a little peeking out. In the dark, this is really convincing.
  2. Put on your shoes before leaving. If you tread lightly, there should be no problem and you don't have to put on your shoes outside.
  3. Sneak out the back door if possible. In this case, if a parent catches you, you can just say you were going out to the back to look at the stars. If you have a dog that sleeps out back, you can just say that you thought they were barking and went outside to quiet them down. If you can't sneak out through the back door without making more noise than the front door, then go out the front. There!
  4. Close any doors in between the door that you're going out of and your parents. Better safe than sorry.
  5. Open the door only as wide as you need to fit through.
  6. Open the door really quickly. It can silence a lot of creaks that you would've heard if you opened it slowly. Make sure it doesn't bump into anything, though.
  7. If your parents get up a lot in the middle of the night and check the locks, make sure you lock the door behind you and bring a key with you so you can get back in.
  8. Getting back in...
  9. Getting back into the house through the backyard can be hard and noisy. A lot of people don't even have keys to their backyard locks. Only sneak in through the back if it's easy and noiseless.
  10. If you have sticky locks, to ensure that it's noiseless when you unlock your door, put a little spit on the key. This really helps if it's hard to take the key out of the lock. Make sure you wipe off the spit afterwards so your parents don't get suspicious.
  11. As soon as you get back inside, take off your shoes and socks and take down your decoy carefully



Tips

  • If you oil up the hinges of the door with lotion or butter or soap it makes the creaking of the door go away
  • Meet up with friends. It's safe, less scary, and a whole lot more fun.
  • If a toilet is near your door, then flush it, and while its flushing open the door fast!
  • Spending the night at a friend's house and sneaking out is a good way to meet up with friends and learn some other people's tricks. Pretty soon, you'll be a sneaking pro!
  • If you're in a dangerous neighborhood where there's a lot of gang activity at night, don't sneak out- it's not worth it.
  • For girls, save the hair that gets stuck in your hairbrush and put it partly under your cover where your head would be. You can remove it later. Make sure some is peeking out, but not so much that they can see that it isn't attached to your head. Or if you have an old Barbie Doll with your hair color, use that. This is a little gross,but if someone opens your door or turns on the light, having "part of you" still in the bed asleep tends to convince them that the rest of you is.
  • Bring a flashlight if you're going to be in an area with little amounts of light.
  • Most alarm systems will allow you to 'bypass' door sensors. Find out how to do this if you do have an alarm system at your house. On Honeywell/Ademco systems just enter YOUR CODE + 6 + SENSOR NUMBER you want to bypass. However do it really fast as if 2 seconds pass it erases the entire thing so you'll have to start over. For example to bypass sensor 11 and assuming the code is 1234 enter the following: 1234611.
  • Here's something that I try. Get something hard and thin like a spoon handle, and wedge it into the gap between the door and the frame. Pull it down SLOWLY and then push your toes as far as they can go under the door and then push.

Warnings

  • Once you're outside, you're not necessarily safe. This is especially true if you have a porch you need to walk on, a barking dog, a loud gate, or an alarm system.
  • Violating curfew is ILLEGAL so you should avoid cops and fire stations because fire stations can sometimes house cop cars and therefore, cops will probably be there.
  • If your parents catch you sneaking in or out, prepare yourself with an alibi and if they don't buy it, reasons why you were in no danger. Parents mainly get angry with you because they think you're endangering yourself.
  • If you flush the toilet and then go out of the door BE WARNED! Your parents might wait up for you in your bedroom thinking you are going to come back in after you've gone. After a while they will become suspicious and start to search the house.
  • Leaving electronics on can give off light and give away your decoy.
  • Remember to lock your room door for 2 weeks before your big night out so people are used to you locking your door and won't bug you.
