Although we keep all harmful things put up we are still worried because she could fall and hurt herself or just anything and we wouldn't know. We have put bells on her door and have a monitor in her room...this still does not help, we don't want to lock the door in fear of fire or if she needs to go potty. Please help if you have something that could help with this.

We had that problem with our 3 year old.
We eventually just made a night routine where we would read her a book, kiss and hug, say good night, then tell her if she needs us, we are in our room down the hall.
Sounds simple but it worked. She no longer wonders the house.

Join your child in play at that hour and try to ask what they are thinking about and/or feeling. You might have an anxious child who is fearful of something. Even a nice 1/2 glass of spring water ( not cold) might calm the child and make them sleepy.
Maybe an overactive mind too. Nothing wrong with that. We are all individuals and our individual ways must be cherished and celebrated.

Is she still taking a nap during the day? It might be time to wean her off an afternoon nap.
Is she fully awake when she gets up, she could be sleep walking, you should be able to just walk her back to her room and lay her back down

get like a door sensor that makes a loud sound when she crosses her doorway into the rest of the house like a security thing or you can also get like a string and rig it so when when she opens her door, the string will tug and ring a loud bell in your room.

You are smart to take all the safety precautions.
What does the pediatrician say? Take your daughter to a sleep specialist. They do sleep studies on children. That way you can find out what's going on. Just to be safe, you know?

She might have nightmares. You can try putting a night light in her room. I that doesn't work, go check with her pediatrician. Good Luck!

put up a baby gate at the top of the stairs or at the entrance to the lounge and kitchen. or better still at her door
only allow her to wander in her own room or yours.

You could put up gates to prevent her from getting into rooms that you don;t want her to get into. good luck.
