Cynthia H on Aug 18, 2014Is there some way he could "block" the door from opening? My parents had pocket doors between their "parlor" and livingroom back in the day. They were heavy wood doors that met in the middle. Since they have to slide in to the wall, would a shim type device (like a doorstop) keep them from opening? My parents' rooms also had a regular door to walk out, so I would hope he does too. The other idea - if there are two doors, would the owner allow a heavy bolt across where they meet?Helpful Reply
