Brilio.net - For the sake of a safe home , many people design their homes with extra security, especially gates. As a barrier, of course the gate must be designed with a good security system. If not, bad things like being visited by thieves or wild animals will be a disaster for your home.
So it is important for the gate to be designed with a safe gate lock such as a latch lock. In fact, to make the lock safer, a padlock is added which can only be opened with a key.
As someone did in the following video upload. Reported by brilio.net from the TikTok account @theaven1802, Wednesday (5/6), this video upload shares a life hack on how to lock the gate to keep it safe from thieves.
"Tips to keep your house safe," wrote the video caption.

In the video, two tips are shared. First, what you need to do is always lock the gate. Second, choose a quality padlock so that the locking system is stronger and safer.
The door was closed and locked. However, at the next moment this gate will be opened by sliding it. The funny thing is, the door immediately opened even though it had just been locked and the lock had not been opened at all.

After looking again, it turns out that the latch which functions to lock does not have a hook indentation. So, it can escape when the door is opened by sliding. In fact, this is what a sliding style fence lock should look like.

Netizens who saw this became confused as a congregation. Many people say that they immediately forget the correct shape of the latch key.
"Instantly I forgot what the correct shape of a sliding door lock is," wrote the account owner @sitiraudoh201.
"Yes, yes, how can it be opened? That's how to do it, wow," said the account @nyomansw10.
"It should be like there is an L at the end (latch)," wrote @xshoth trying to explain.
"Then how does the tip of the L enter the small hole?" wrote @nyomansw10 asking again.
"Usually the bolt hole is square in shape. Rather wide," said the account @williams_m4.
