Are Portable Door Locks the Best Security for $5? Honest Review

These were all tested from the inside. I would have liked to see these locks put in and then the door handles tested from the outside like someone was trying to get in.

I have seen these locks everywhere, but no one ever demoed how to put the things on the door. I appreciate this. Thank you.

Traveling solo now and despite the “do not disturb” sign, some dude from housekeeping just tried to open my door. 🧐 Thanks for the clear and precise tutorial. 💞💞 This is not just for safety but also for privacy 💛

When we travel my wife, and I both seniors. We hang a cross from the top of the hotel room door so it rests right above the room number. You will be surprised what a deterrent that is. A tenant from another room saw me in the morning, and said to me "we were freaking out, we thought there was someone dead in there"😊 I purchased thru a catalog years ago a battery operated alarm which hangs on the inside knob of the room, if anyone touches the outside knob a deafening sound occurs. But I will buy these as added protection.

Make sure the screws in the plates of your door jamb are long enough to HOLD the pressure of the lock. I have these because the building maintenance person they called in for he apt BELOW me, came into MY apt! They opened the door, I was asleep and FREAKED out! I emailed corporate...to prevent a "next time" (where I would shoot instead) I got one of these. For their safety. These work great at hotels.

Comes in handy as a bottle opener too 😉

Here's a short with some added details based on your questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE9zWZpph1E

My landlord, when he couldn't reach out to me for some dumb crap, sent his handiwork guy INSIDE my apartment, I was naked in the living room going to take a shower. I became livid. I'm going to buy this for sure.

Saw a video on Vegas crime and apparently they are breaking into occupied hotel rooms during the night to steal. Strongly recommend that tourists consider this because those fancy hotels do not even have cameras in the hallways. You have no security. They are hitting the occupied rooms closest to elevators/stairwells.

I purchased this lock and it works. It works so well, that I got locked in the bedroom. FIRST Be sure when you turn the knob that the knob goes in ALL THE WAY flush with the door. If not, you will be locked in as I was in a two story house. Someone had to take a ladder, climb onto the roof and then through a window to have access. He then had tools to take off the door from the hinges to free me. When we turned the knob we saw the issue. The know did not turn flush with the wood of the door. I will definitely use the lock - its really sturdy! But be aware of the ability to turn the knob all the way in before you utilize. Or you too...will be locked in the room.

It will be a good deterrent in hotels where intruders wouldn’t be brash enough to kick down the door. But for home security, this gadget will break with huge impact. Security door jammers on floor offers way higher protection

I've been using one for a couple of years,every day. Highly recommended!

I had a side door on my house, which was a 100 year old house. The side door was old, the lock rusted, and the door wouldn't stay shut. Couldn't afford a new door, but got one of these (another brand) and worked like a charm. Just closed that door up nice and tight and safe.

I just ordered one it came in the mail today I tried it out because one of my doors doesn't really locked and it really works I highly recommend one thanks for your reviews.
