I am currently carrying out my PhD in security device effectiveness. One security device I am analysisng is security chains.I am unsure if if I can ethically recommend security chains as an effective measure against burglary victimisation if there is a potential risk to having one fitted with regards to fire safety. Is there any offical guidance from the fire service (preferably UK) about whether security chains (on the inside of a front/back door)  pose a potential risk when trying to esacpe from a fire?
