Your front door
Protect Your House With A Horseshoe Outside
The tradition of hanging a horseshoe on your door dates back to the 10th Century. It stems from the fact they were often made of iron which was believed to be a lucky material, and they were usually held in place with seven nails, seven being a lucky number. This practice received a further boost when Saint Dunstan removed a horseshoe from the devil if he promised not to enter a home with a horseshoe hanging outside.
