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.


Obese doesn’t count.

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.


Makes more sense to use a camera if you're worried about that.


If it is a rare ocassion at night someone at your door just make a
wooden wedge and hold it with your foot, that will stop the door opening
beyond where you `jam` it. The harder they push the more it `jams`
