Last night at about 9PM in the dark there was a knock at the front door.
People never seem to see the door bell.
It was this dairy guy asking me if I'd like him to deliver milk. I politely
asked him if he could tell the time, he said "Sorry" and cleared off.
If this had been 5 or 6 VERY big lads intent on no good I could have been in
trouble, even though I'm a big guy.

Question is:
Are these door chains that can be screwed into PVC doors and frames any
good?
I can't see the screws holding out against a good kick.

Thanks



PVC frame will have steel structure somewhere behind it. You would need
to drill and tap into that, or fit rivnuts, or perhaps steel pop rivets
to get security. Not necessarily a trivial job unless you are fairly handy.

You are quite right, screws into PVC won't do much. Screws into wood
will do very much better.

CCTV is becoming much more affordable (but not as cheap as a security
chain, of course).
