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