(25,592 posts)1 TV table
1 large cookie sheet
1 folding chair
Several medium to large pots and pans. Light aluminum ones are best. If you make the tray too heavy, this will not work, as the chair will not tip the cookie sheet off the table when it falls.
Lean the folded chair, at an angle, against the door. Make sure it will NOT get caught under the door knob. (That is another security device)
Place the TV table far enough away from the door so the chair just misses it, when it falls over when the door is opened.
Place the cookie sheet on the TV table and put the pots and pans on the cookie sheet.
Adjust the cookie sheet so it is just balanced on the TV table.
If anyone tries to come in through the door, the chair will fall over, hitting the cookie sheet, sending the pots and pans noisily to the floor.
You are welcome.
