Debunking the ‘Aluminum Foil Door Handle Hack’
A viral “hack” suggested using aluminum foil on door handles to prevent intrusions by making the knobs harder to grip and alerting you to tampering. However, Snopes debunked this idea, calling it a clickbait myth.
While foil doesn’t offer real security, it has other practical uses, such as improving insulation, preventing paint splatters, reducing static electricity, and even speeding up ironing. Foil can also be used for DIY projects like sharpening knives or protecting surfaces from spills. Despite its limitations, aluminum foil remains a versatile household tool.
