Are my locks predator proof?

[MarlaMac]

Hello everyone.

Please tell me if my locks are predator proof. I think a coon could probably get them open, my husband thinks not. The only place a coon could possibly sit and wrangle the locks in on the first picture - it is an out side the coop nest box, but honestly, if it did get the lock off it could not open the lid, I have trouble opening it.

The locks are spring locks you can buy at TSC. The one on the X door is coupled with a small latch on the other side that is almost impossible for me to open too, so not worried about that one. The two pictured together are the ones I am concerned with. I think a coon could spend some time standing on the small boards that frame Y and Z and fiddle with the locks. We do have cameras that alert us with something is near the coop, but I hate relying on technology when I am dead asleep. Perhaps I am being a little too cautious?

Thanks for your input.

I think they're probably okay. Wr use carribeaners for some coops against raccoons

Thank you. Thought about using those too. Do you use the screw type or the spring type?

Probably the spring.
