I am having a hard time visualizing this... What does the glued lock contribute to the firework situation, or vice versa?

You can't exit through the door... but also there is a firework going off so seems like you would probably go in a different direction, maybe to a different room.

I've always liked the superglue idea because it could really fuck things up but the prankster is far away by the time its discovered. Setting off an explosive at the same time sort of diminishes that.

maybe I am missing something?

Extremely common for houses to burn down in this way.

I suppose americans might be less familiar with this phenomenon because you have mailboxes outside the house instead of as slots built into your doors? Here in the UK it is most common for doors to have a letter shaped postal slot on the door. This size:

I mean it seems like there's a strong chance it burns their house down depending on the type of firework tbqh. if it's just a firecracker probably not though. In that case the superglue still prevents them from pursuing you and just generally ruins the lock
