Why is it forbidden to lock doors or turn off the speakers which are a part of every dwelling in the giver?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In "The Giver," the community values transparency and control to maintain order and limit individual choice. Locking doors and turning off speakers would hinder this sense of oversight and forced sameness. It also prevents individuals from seeking privacy or engaging in actions that deviate from the established rules of the society.

There are a few strategies you can use to remember the combination of a lock. One method is to use a mnemonic device, such as creating a phrase using the numbers or visualizing a story associated with the combination. Another approach is to practice the combination multiple times until it becomes ingrained in your memory. Lastly, you can write the combination down and store it in a secure place where only you can access it.

If Seven Eleven stays open 24 7 why does it have locks on the doors?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because...

  • The landlord installed it many years ago, before this 24-hour store signed the lease.
  • Sometimes, when the clerks work alone, they also need to go to the bathroom.
  • So that you can lock down in emergencies, such as tornado warnings, or lock down situations or when they're doing construction.
  • They can lock up on holidays such as New Years Day, Christmas Eve night, and Christmas.
  • For occasional, temporary down time such as inventory control.
  • Doors are made that way. They are are manufactured with locks. You can't buy an exterior door that doesn't come with a lock.
  • Stores are made that way. In designing a store you need to consider unforseen events such as emergencies or a future change in store hours. Some stores may abandon the 24-7 schedule years later.
  • Since it costs practically nothing extra to order doors with locks, why not? It would cost a lot more later to add them in.
  • There is an end to every beginning.
  • The store is required to have locks for emergencies like a bomb threat when all customers have to leave the store, and it's closed for a big part of the night.
  • Many stores, right after getting robbed, will lock customers outside, so that the police can take full charge and investigate what happened with all that missing money.
  • If the store didn't have locks on their doors, the insurance costs would be higher.
  • Many large United Kingdom 24/7 shops are not allowed to open on Sunday nights (due to old laws) and so would need the locks to close on Sunday nights.
  • Many places lock up, if there is a power outage.
  • Some stores used to have regular hours, before they became a 24-hour stores.
  • A store may stay in business for a certain amount of time, then sell to someone else who wants locks on the doors.

How do you open broken crafter bonnet catch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It will cost you a few hunderd quid to get this sorted by renault... or get some handy person to get the bonnet open, and using a cable tie connected to the passenger side bonnet release, connect said cable tie, and let the end poke out from the bonnet. This then becomes your new bonnet release. Any eagle eyed person with the knowledge will be able to open your bonnet from the outside. So do be wary of this solution. But it only costs a few pence for a cable tie vs a few hunderd quid from reno.

How do you open a 3 digit Buffalo combo padlock that you can't remember the combo to and reset the lock combo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hold down the silver button on the side. Scroll through the far right wheel until you hear a click. Do the same for the middle and left wheels. Hope it helped!

(Worked for me)

Update: Use your thumb to hold down the silver button on the side. With your thumb, you can feel the button "fall" or "bump" into place as you turn the wheel to the correct digit. This usually works really well on the 3rd digit. This at least narrows it down to 100 possible combinations (rather than the original 1,000). Or, knowing the last digit may help jog your memory to remember the combination you set in the first place.

How do you fix the door hinges?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you can use either "bondo" or "Minwax Wood Filler" to patch the wood.Dont mix more that you can use in 5-10 min.. Use a good stiff putty knife,let set ,sand, then prime and paint.This will hold up in Minnesota winters/summers(not to mention bondo is used on cars and boats). Hope this will work for you.

This is a patch job that will probably look nice if done correctly. This will work, however the problem of a weak door frame still remains. A kick or shove on the door will break the door frame again. You need to strengthen the door frame with a door frame reinforcement product. There are several out there but I've used StrikeMaster II on my home. 20 minute installation.

Depending on the size of the ripped holes if they are not too bad you might be able to just use thicker screws to place into the mounting brace of the reteractor. --- If that won't work

FIRST---Draw a a line approximately 2 inches above and 2 inches below the retractors mount brace-- you don't need a measureing tape for this you can do this by eyeball and mark 2 inches above and 2 inches below the mounting brace of the retractor. Measure the height from the threshold to the center within this 4 inch gap because you don't want to place any screws or nails in this area that will block your retractor mounting screws from entering-- mark your upper and lower line marks outside the door frame on the wall-- now you will have a marker that tells you where you do not want any screws or nails as you replace your fresh piece of wood.

I would unscrew the entire screen door frame- set it aside and using a Fein Saw -- I would measure 12 inches past the gouged hole towsard the top of the door frame & 12 inches past the hole toward the bottom of the door frame and I would cut out that 24 inch piece of wood and replace it with a piece of fresh wood.-- Once I have replaced the piece of wood I can replace the door frame and the door and the retractor and there would be no wasted time with fillers and weak area possibillities. If I have the Fein saw handy this job would take me about 1 hour to complete and even less if I just use oversized screws in the retractor mounting bracket that goes attached to the door jamb.

Hello,

You should also be sure that you install a chain to prevent this from happening again.

How do you get a car door open when it is jammed shut?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Has the door been hit? If so, a body shop would be the first place to try. If not, roll the window down and spray penetrating oil, like WD40, into the latch area of the door (this is about at the vertical middle of the door, straight down from the outside handle). Let it work in for a day or so, then try to work the handle from both inside and out, and the lock buttons as well. This will free it up in most cases. If not, the latch may be broken.

Sometimes, trying to open a locked cardoor with the wrong tool (such as a Slim Jim) can break the linkage off the handle or the lock cylinder.

If not successful, take the car to a locksmith.

You don't. By definition a combination lock has no key, and thus there is nothing to "pick."

Picking a lock refers to mimicking the role of a key in a lock. A combination lock has no key, and thus cannot be "picked."

How to fix the lock of a Peugeot 205?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the problem is that the inside door slider is stuck in the down position then it's probably that the rocker mechanism attached to the outside handle (just behind the slider) is rusty and the rocker won't drop when the outside handle is lifted and released. Remove the door trim: Torx screws hold on the armrest and door pocket and the other plastic parts just pull off; and prise off the trim, getting your fingers close to each of the plastic poppers. Spray penetrating oil into the top corner of the door and work the rocker free.

How do you reset a master lock?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, it depends on what model it is. But this is something I found on the internet.

Models #175, 176, 177 and 178:

  • Open lock with the factory set or previously set combination. The lock must be set to the current combination, or you cannot reset it. Note: the shackle must be in the open position to reset the combination.
  • Insert reset tool (enclosed in package) in hole on side of lock.
  • Push reset tool in and turn 90 degrees (in either direction). Reset tool automatically stays in this position.
  • Set wheels to desired combination.
  • Turn and remove reset tool. Lock is now set to new combination.
  • Record your new combination in a safe place.
