Door chains and check arms

[NorthernRaider]

Apparently a slightly new twist to the increase in home intrusion robberies is happening. What the scum do is just knock on your door as as soon as you begin to open the door they charge it or kick it knocking the home owner backwards, they then rush in and rob the you often using violence. Thought it prudent to remind folks of the befit of will fitted secure door chain / bars to limit how far a door will open to prevent this type of robbery. But remember a super duper high tensile stainless steel chain or check arm is useless if only secured with a couple of screws into a wooden door frame. you need high quality fixings right through the door frame and secured into the masonry beyond.

And folks do get into the habit of keeping those doors LOCKED esp after dusk.
