Aluminum Foil on Door Knobs for Security Purpose – Are the Myths TRUE?

● Static Electricity Prevention:

Another claim is that wrapping aluminum foil around door knobs can prevent static shocks. While covering a metal surface with foil can help dissipate static charges (reducing the likelihood of a shock when touched), it’s still not a reliable fix for such a problem.

● Pet Deterrent:

Some pet owners say that “aluminum foil stops pets from scratching doors” because of its texture and the sound it gives off. But this claim is false. Aluminum foil does not work on every pet.
