Yep. That’s one of the many lessons to be learned here.
It’s also worth noting that folks should have a way to communicate with someone at the door without opening the door (I’m not talking about a door chain, either. Anyone of even moderate strength could break one of those.)
As for me, I’m low tech. just tell them to go near a window. Then I talk to them through the window.
