I had no knowledge of how common grounding by door removal was until today

The first thing my mom did when we moved into our house when I was 8 was take my door off it's hinges. It wasn't even a punishment, I just wasn't allowed to have one, i just got a curtain. My dad installed a door on my room when I was 17, two weeks before I moved away for college, because it was about to become the guest room, and wouldn't it be weird if the guest room didn't have a door?

To be fair, the door removal punishment would have been considered authoritarian / strict / extreme, it was chosen by a step-parent, my birth parents would never have punished me that way (even though they did use corporal punishment on me when I was young, they in general weren't that "strict" or authoritarian as parents).
