I always thought having a sliding chain lock was the best way to keep my house safe at night. Even if someone picked my first two door locks, I always thought the good old, trusty chain was the last and most formidable line of defense. But man oh man was I wrong in that assumption.
The video below shows how easy it is for someone to defeat the sliding chain system in less than a minute. With just one simple, everyday household item, just about anyone can manage to get past that chain into your house.
Luckily, like the little girl who defended her life and her home with a pink rifle, I have a few backup solutions in case there's a home invasion. Or, on top of everything, I can always use my trusty fork to make an even stronger lock! I guess I could just get myself one of those fancy BRINKS security systems, or ADT; but I was always afraid I would forget the secret code!
What do you think about this startling way to defeat a sliding chain lock? We figured it's better that you're aware of what robbers probably already know and are definitely capable of!
There has to be a way around this, either get a deadbolt lock or even attach a small combination lock to the chain. Either way, I'm running to Home Depot tonight to make sure I can protect my family and my house.
