You may have already heard of unusual tricks involving aluminum foil, but did you know that it can also be very practical for your doorknobs? It may seem surprising, but this simple technique offers several unexpected benefits, ranging from protection against wear to improved thermal insulation. Aluminum foil could well simplify your daily life!
Protection against wear and rust
Door handles, especially metal ones, are subject to daily wear and tear. Between humidity, fingerprints, and oxidation, they can quickly lose their shine and functionality. Aluminum foil acts as a protective barrier against moisture and air, thus limiting the formation of rust. If you live in a humid region, this tip can extend the life of your handles and save you unnecessary expense on replacements.
Protection against electromagnetic interference
Keyless locking systems and other electronic devices that rely on radio waves can be vulnerable to hacking. Aluminum foil, known for its conductive and reflective properties, can block certain signals and enhance your home’s security. Wrapping the doorknob creates an insulating layer that reduces the risk of electronic intrusion.
