When I lock the doors etc to my home I'll often mutter "ya know, if someone is rattling my door knob I already have a big problem." I suppose when I'm home it might give me a warning if I hear it. There must be a metaphor in there somewhere. I do recall as a teen noticing that one of the closed store's on the main drag's door was unlocked late one night walking home (this was in NYC.) I saw a cop and told him and he scolded me angrily for rattling door knobs, I could be arrested for that! But verified it, looked around inside with his flashlight, and called it in. I forget how I noticed but I wasn't in the habit of rattling stores' door knobs, I think the door was just a bit ajar. There must be a metaphor in there somewhere.
