Doorknob Fiasco

The doorknob to my bedroom door broke. It keeps falling off and trapping me inside. I'm safe if I remember to put the end with a long screw in the door facing the room. It's a problem when the longer end is facing the hall and I walk into the room and shut the door. Then I have no doorknob and have to hunt for something that will work (flat, square keys are the best). I've had to call my neighbor to be rescued!

The real problem with this situation, and the only reason I even close my bedroom door, is Brenda. If I want to give her a little more freedom but have guests over or except the dog walker, she gets to hang out in the bedroom. And, when I'm working at my desk, I like to close the door so she can't roam around. It's always during the time I need to concentrate that she decides to pace around the apartment and will inevitably pee.

I guess one option would be to get a new doorknob. For now I'm stuck switching the long side each time I exit and enter the room.
