Is a chain lock on my door actually effective, or is it just giving me a false sense of security?
Chain locks add a thin secondary layer of resistance when you're home and want to partially open the door — but they're not designed to stop a determined kick-in and most can be defeated quickly. For real security at the door level, a properly installed deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate does significantly more work. Call (480) 525-7778 and Sundial Locksmith can show you what a meaningful upgrade looks like for your Phoenix home.
