Get a door stoppers to keep intruders out that’s too hard for him to manage

Idk if it would work for a door but they have the child proof locks for doors where you connect it on one side and put the other on like a cabinet door so they can’t open it. Maybe do it like that so it can just stick on

Get a lock for the top of the door where he can’t reach

Door stopper or the door lock up on top from his reach.

My 5 year old know how to open the front door as well but he knows better to not open the door. We also had to get window locks as he escaped out of the window before and went to the corner store… luckily, we didn’t get CPS called on us as the cops arrived at our front door.
