Or, have no door at all. Our building on the rue Longue had no street door. The dark, steep, winding stairway was the only security we needed. Of course, if you were expecting guests, you had to hang out the window until you saw them coming up or down the rue Longue, and then turn on the lights for them. Each apartment had its own light bulb on each landing, and two switches: one in the locked mailbox and one inside the apartment door. It worked quite well as long as the light bulbs lasted.
