Slip
The slip is a mechanism that has the door to leave it closed when it is slammed, without a key. When closing the door, it is wedged into the frame to prevent it from opening on its own, but this latch acts with a spring, therefore, if it is the only holding point of a door, it could be easily opened using the latch system with a plastic or card.
The National Police advises locking the doors of your homes with a key or other security elements when you are not inside to avoid these crimes. If, on the other hand, they are inside the home, a good measure would be to install an additional lock that is activated from the inside and prevents access by strangers without your consent.
The two detainees were placed at the disposal of the Investigating Court acting as the Dénia Guard for the commission of several alleged crimes of robbery with force in an inhabited house.
