In our house we have a hallway full of doors. Doors that must remain closed to keep our little Goosie (20 months) from getting into trouble during the day.
Our master bedroom currently has the only working bathroom. Goosie loves to get into the bathroom and go into the shower. Our older two share a room and Goosie just loves to climb on the ladders to their lofts. Another door leads to the big ginormous hole that is currently where the main bathroom is being remodeled. And even Goosie's door is remaining closed now due to her obsessive desire to open her drawers and string her clothes from one side of the house to the other. Whew. Throw in homeschooling on top of all of that excitement and it is one roller coaster day!
Our doors all have knobs like this which are constantly "accidentally locked" and that little metal doo-hickey key that came with them have all disappeared, strangely enough.
(My little Manny is in the doorknob saying "Whatcha doing Mom?" as I take the picture. You can even see me is you look hard enough)
So our solution: A dowel rod. We found some that are the perfect size to fit into that little hole. We keep several above each door frame for easy access. Whala! A cheap solution to a big problem!

That's a great idea. We have the knobs that lock, but unlock when you open them.
