Lock­ing the front door is a rit­ual we all per­form which pro­vides a gen­eral assump­tion of front-door-locked-ness. Almost like vac­ci­na­tion. One per­son does it, it’s mean­ing­less; every­body does it, it’s a big deal. And also like vac­ci­na­tion because, once every­body does it, you largely get the ben­e­fits even if you don’t!

Lock­ing the front door as col­lec­tive action. Hmm. I still don’t think it makes any sense. I still do it.
