Installing a Metal Door check (like a doorchain)
wrote in message ps.com... Is it possible to install a Metal Door check (like a doorchain) where the door frame is metal? Thanks Be aware that door chains are worse than useless. You disarm the major defense (the dead-bolt) by opening the door a crack. The goblin, intent on ravishing maidens, reaches in with a bolt cutter, snips your itty-bitty chain with about as much force as that used on a toenail clipper. You're a goner; there's nothing left to do but faint. Consider a peep-hole or a hole like you see on armored cars through which you can shoot. |
