How do security door chains work?

They work by simply allowing the person inside the home to open the door just a crack to see who is outside. This allows a small amount of space to allow the occupant to see who is outside and determine whether to open the door fully. Door security chains are often accompanied with peep holes also known as spy holes. This is another security method which allows the user to view who is outside without even opening the door at all.

Once the owner recognizes the occupant then they can then choose to open the door on the latch or chain in order to have a closer look. The advantage of the chain is that this allows the people and guest to communicate through the gap without ever needing to open the door. The person outside the door can even pass parcels and packages through the door for deliveries etc. Never again will you have to worry about strangers outside their door.

Another option which can be installed alongside or instead of is door restrictors. These work in a similar way and help to prevent people from kicking your door in. We install all of our restrictors with extra long screws in order to prevent the door chain from been ripped off of the frame. We often fit these in conjunction with Birmingham bars which are a form a kick stop to help prevent kicking the door in.

When to use door restrictors?

Its best to use door chains all the time. If you only use them occasionally then its hard to stick into the habit of using them. Its for this reason that we just reccommend for people to use the door security chains all the time. Often people can be tricksters and can us fake uniforms to pretend to be officials such as police officers. So take time to look clearly at the person before opening the door in full. Why not also get them to pass you their ID through the gap in the door in order to inspect it properly. The door chain gives you the time you need to properly inspect the ID and access the situation.
