this will only bring problems, so I would probably barricade the door and tell no-one.

Sell them stuff from the dollar store to get regency-era rich, arrange to kill henry ford, and build some better fucking railways in north america.

I saw enough of Goodnight Sweetheart to know a door like this can never lead to good things.

I remember that show! I loved it as a kid. Didn't he get both of them pregnant or something?

Yup but you don't find out about the present-day kid until the one off special they did in 2016

Nail it shut and put a very large heavy piece of furniture in front of it.

I'm going to take the violent route and say: murder Henry Ford's father so Henry Ford is never born. Best case scenario ICE vehicles do not become the preferred mode of transportation and the industrial revolution is delayed by years/decades

Sorry but the industrial revolution was already in full bloom in the 1840s, you'd have to go to, say, late 1700s / early 1800s to cause a big delay...
