The raccoon "proof" door on our main (chicken) house.

At list a few chickens to raccoons early in the season. They were taken outside. When you improve security raccoons can get more aggressive so I beefed up the summer door on the house.

I’d watch out raccoons may be able to turn that latch.

I think our raccoons are too lazy and too opportunistic to worry about that. The new door has been on for months. They never took a chicken inside, only ones that managed to stay outside overnight. It's a real concern but hasn't been a problem yet.
