A common situation in a TV show with limited time to show events, where a character will suddenly appear in another character's home with no explanation. It can be interpreted as merely a shorthand to indicate that the character has in fact knocked and been let in but the scene is too boring to air. However, the trope often appears in contexts where that should not be possible, like when the person entering the house walks in on someone's private affairs, or is a villain, or is out of favor with the resident and walks in just to berate him, etc. Why nobody ever, at the very least, locks their door when they want to be alone is a great mystery. This is particularly common in Role-Playing Games, which often allow the player character to simply wander into anyone's home at whim. Depending on the game, reactions can range from the house's occupants being enraged at your intrusion to your being free to chat with whoever's in there without, for the most part, them seeming to mind your player character's presence at all. Not to be confused with There Was a Door. The Drop-In Character does this all the time. See also: Swiss-Cheese Security, Trespassing to Talk, and Interrupted Intimacy. |

Watchmen: Subverted by Rorschach, as it's obvious that he broke the door and then waited for the owner to come home. Rorschach then criticizes the owner for installing such a cheap, flimsy Gordian Knot-brand lock. | |

Angel: When Angel becomes CEO of the supernatural law firm Wolfram & Hart, Eve (his Liaison to the Senior Partners) keeps doing this to upstage him, except for one episode when she does this while Angel is taking a shower. At first Eve claims his door was open, then changes to "your door was unlocked". Then Eve admits she has a key. Which Angel wordlessly takes off her. | |

In Grand Theft Auto V, this is a common occurrence on Michael's side of things. Whereas Franklin is shown answering his door whenever he gets visitors and Trevor's trailer doesn't have anything in the way of security to begin with, various characters are somehow able to walk into Michael's house without being invited inside. Notable examples include Franklinnote a downplayed case as Michael did invite him over and Amanda, who's shown leaving the house just beforehand, could have let him in and Dave during the intro to "Mr. Philips" and Trevor in the missions "Fame Or Shame" and "Bury The Hatchet". | |

After Steve leaves her, Marcy lets herself in whenever the scene calls for her to be there. Lampshaded when Marcy walked in through the Bundy's door and says "Why do you keep your door unlocked? Any crazed killer could come in and murder you?" Al's reply is "Yeah, like I ever get what I want." |

The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Done frequently. A notable example happened in the season one episode, "Maybe Baby" when nearly every regular character ended up in Amy's house, arriving in groups of two or three, just to tell her they would support her if she wanted to keep her baby. They have gotten better about it in later seasons (meaning it's more common to see people actually knock on the door and wait for someone to answer it) but it's not completely absent. | |

Seinfeld: Kramer is based almost entirely off of this trope — he's neighbors with Jerry, often enters without knocking in a distinctive manner, and often steals food from the Jerry's fridge. This is averted with every other character — Jerry has to buzz George and Elaine into the building every time they come over, whereas Kramer lives across the hall from him. Subverted in one episode. Kramer's drop in style involves sliding through the doorway as he opens it in a practiced motion. In "The Opera", Jerry locks his door, causing Kramer to slam into it. In another episode, Elaine goes to visit her boyfriend and is surprised to find his door open. He claims "I like to encourage intruders". "The Robbery" — the third episode of the series and the first instance of Kramer's slide — Jerry discovers his apartment was robbed because Kramer left the door open after borrowing a utensil, intending to bring it back right away but getting distracted by a TV show. Jerry doesn't have insurance. |

Lucifer (2016): Lucifer himself lives in a luxury apartment above his nightclub, accessible by elevator. Judging by how many people wander in uninvited — from friends looking for him, to friends looking for stuff in his bedroom, to villains of the week — he doesn't bother to keep the penthouse floor locked. Lampshaded one of the times Lucifer lets himself into Chloe Decker's house: |

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: Lampshaded. If you visit one apartment on Citadel Station, the resident will come in as soon as the player starts opening storage containers, and he shouts at them for stealing his stuff. | |

To Love Ru: Door locks are nonexistent. None. Zilch. Nada. Not on bedroom doors, not on the school roof, and definitely not on the washrooms, which results in many Accidental Pervert situations in the name of Fanservice and Rito getting the crap kicked out of him by pissed-off girls. | |

Winnie the Pooh: Pooh sets up an elaborate, if hasty, Furniture Blockade in front of his front door and is patrolling it with a popgun rifle. He hears a knock and is nervously trying to ascertain the identities of his friends knocking at the door, when Tigger bounces on the bear, with Rabbit and Piglet walking in behind. | |

In one My-HiME Shizuru/Natsuki fan comic, Shizuru lets herself into Natsuki's unlocked room while she's asleep, and Natsuki finds her sitting across her table from her when she wakes up. Shizuru chides her for leaving her door unlocked, apparently from being tired from all the make-up work she's been doing, and Natsuki promises to be more careful in the future, but notes that no one out there is more "dangerous" than Shizuru. | |

Trails Series uses this in a similar way to the Final Fantasy franchise. All of the games in this franchise are full of apartments and private homes. Your characters can pretty much just walk freely into any of them and chat up the residents, none of whom seem even the slightest bit bothered or surprised by the sudden presence of these people in their homes. | |

Even Stevens: This is a Running Gag with the character Beans. Lampshaded in The Movie when the family is sitting down to dinner and Beans pops up, prompting Donny to say "This kid is starting to freak me out" and another character to propose changing the locks. Possibly averted by the fact that everyone found Beans weird and unsettling. | |

Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens: This happens all the time. The protagonist stopped locking his door after Nagi got to live with him (instead of, you know, giving her spare keys), and didn't lock the door when they both were inside as well. If people are ringing the bell at all, it is just that they are polite. | |

Friends: when Monica and Chandler agree to move in together, Monica tells him to lock the door to her apartment, then unlock it again for the first time as her roommate. Chandler replies: "The door hasn't been locked in five years, but sure." Then in the final episode, Monica and Chandler leave their keys on the counter as they leave the apartment... and then so do all the others. | |
