Would this chain link be raccoon proof??

[capebird]

Anyone have any experience using this type of adjustable chain
link inserted through a hasp to prevent raccoons (or other predators)
from entering the coop/run??
Thanks

I use them all the time to fasten traps with I normally have a leatherman and a small adjustable wrench in my pockets

I have not lost one yet

Yes, and you will need those tools because those clips are prone to getting jammed up. I use them, too. They are miserable to free up once they have been exposed to the elements for a while. The upside is that anything weaker than a human with metal tools at hand is not going to get them open.

Good luck.

Yes, we have them on our coop. Raccoon-proof, indeed!

THEY CAN BE PURCHASED MADE OF STAINLESS WHEN THEY ARE OPENED EVERY DAY THEY WORK A LOT BETTER THEN WHEN i FASTEN A TRAP CHAIN WITH ONE AND LEAVE IT IN THE DIRT ALL TRAPPING SEASON

OP here... I've been using that adjustable chain link on my coop door.
Works very well.

I was told a long time back that if you want something raccoon proof... lock something up and let a 3-4 year old try to open it. If they can open it, a coon should be able to as well.

I have only tested that 2x on my locks but so far so good

The neighbors kids couldn't unlock it...so either I did good or I have some stupid coons/neighbor kids
