Step-by-Step
The Universal Action Protocol
Four deterministic steps to execute whenever you face this transition.
1
Door Hardware Inspection
Test deadbolt, verify chain/swing bar, and look through peephole to ensure reverse peephole viewers cannot see inside.
2
Perimeter & Window Egress
Confirm window latches lock securely. If on ground or adjacent balcony floor, keep windows locked whenever asleep or away.
3
Fire Stairwell Count
Step back into hallway and physically count doors to the nearest fire exit. Verify exit door pushes open and is not padlocked.
4
Visitor Refusal Protocol
Never open the door to unexpected room service, maintenance, or deliveries without phoning reception first to verify.
