Predator proof locks?

[Emily_loveschickens]

Hi, I was just wondering if this lock looks predator proof enough? Thanks

From what I've read on other threads the carabiner is ideal! Good job!

That's what I've got -- hasps with carbiners.

You can tether your carabiner so you don't lose it when you drop it.

I use these on all of the people doors. They work great and don’t automatically lock if the door gets slammed shut so I’m not locked inside!

I use this security defender house good lock drop Amazon. It works great. Just spritz a little wd40 to prevent freezing or rusting in the hinge

I have a carabineer style lock too. I can't lock myself in.

It doubles as a door pull. Raccoon proof for over a year and a half.

We use those locks on the interior doors of our house. Excellent security, but would be a PITA for me to use on the coop because I’m starting to have an issue with hand strength, so if they were wet, I’d probably not be able to grip them hard enough to get them open. Nice to have inside tho!

I use real locks with real keys. One set of keys stays near the back door, the other lives on my keychain, which goes with me wherever I do. I got sets of Masters (4 in a set), so they are keyed alike.

I remember reading somewhere, before I got my girls, that a determined raccoon can manage a carabiner, so I got paranoid. That may be a myth or not, but the locks also keep me from wondering if a human might sneak in and try to steal a chicken, too.

Keys are easy to keep in a pocket or tie to a pant drawstring, and an opened lock easily stays on the hasp.
