Most safety plans fail on the night they are needed, because nobody practised them. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Test locks on arrival. - Know the fire exits. - Use the safe for documents. Quick answer On arrival, check that the door and window locks work, find the fire exits, use the room safe for passports and cash and add a portable door lock or door alarm if the lock feels weak. Do not announce your room number, and use the peephole before opening. [Photo: Alan J.
