| Opening Your Doors to Strangers |
Take great care . . . you don't ever have to open the door.
- Peepholes . . . to see who's there: Wide-angle peepholes are a highly recommended viewing device because the person outside does not know that you see him/her. If the peephole is covered, do not open the door.
- Chain locks … a false sense of safety: Chain locks are not recommended because they are mounted with short screws and have weak chains.
- Door wedges really work: A door wedge is a better alternative when you wish to open your door only a few inches to speak to a stranger. This device is useful for children and women who are alone at home. It can be found in most hardware stores.
