Addalock The Original Portable Door Lock for Travel & Home Security, Durable 1-Piece Door Latch Lock for Houses, Apartments, Hotels, Motels, Dorms & AirBnBs - Lock the Door & Stay at Home or Away

We've been struggling with our family member who has Frontal Temporal Dementia (FTD), a form of dementia often coming to younger individuals. She likes to leave the house and wander or take long walks and it's difficult to keep an eye on her while trying to work or get other things done. She can unlock normal locks and we were putting heavy things in front of the door, but she can move them. I saw this and thought why not give it a try. I watched the install video, read the directions, and then happily put it on our door on the first try. It's actually quite simple - open the door, insert into the latch, close the door, put the key in. Opening it - also easy! just pull it up and out. However - not so easy for our patient -- she has not been able to figure it out, and, since she's easily frustrated, has stopped even trying. This is so perfect! I applaud the inventor. It seems very durable so I see it lasting a long time. You can also buy a version that comes with a doorstop alarm just in case someone is able to open it -- we don't envision having to use that, but it also seems a good solution. I think this product is fantastic as well for personal security when in a hotel room, rental unit, etc. I will getting one for just this purpose!

I tried this out on my my house which is a newer home built in last five years and it worked! We used this on the resort room in Roatan and it worked great! Another layer of security and peace of mind. I would recommend trying it out, because there is a slight learning curve to use. But, once you get it it is easy-peasy!

I bought the Addalock portable door lock to have a little extra security when traveling, and it works really well. It’s small, lightweight, and easy to carry in a bag. The only thing to keep in mind is that it works best on doors that open inward, so it may not fit every door.

Works good! Easy to use once you have done once or twice

This review is comparing two high end travel locking solutions, the Addalock and the Travelers Security Lock Llc. . I really liked both locks, but for different reasons. Which one you choose to take with you will be dependent on your individual needs. The Addalock : Weight: 4.28oz Price: twenty bucks or so. Operation: A flat, thin steel bar is provided, it looks a lot like a cheap bottle opener. Quality is solid. at one end, there are a couple steel prongs that stick out. Insert the steel prongs into the bolt hole in the door frame, then close the door with the metal wedged between the door and the frame. A red plastic/metal triangular wedge clips to the end of the bar and settles down against the door. Trying to open the door pushes against the plastic which is attached to the bar that is inserted into the frame - not going to open! Pros: LIGHTWEIGHT. This is the strongest selling feature of this device. It is relatively thin, takes up a small footprint, and only weighs 4.28oz. When it works, it works well enough and prevents entry. Ideal for a backpack traveler who has to make every ounce count. Thin metal bar makes it easy to fit into tight door frames. Cons: 1) Doesn't fit SUPER snug into the door. It will keep the door from opening or even moving much at all, security is good.... but it's obvious from the other side you have something small and "rattle'y" jimmied into the lock. 2) Needs the frame to be at least a fair to middling fit with the door. If it was a REALLLY loose door, I think the lock would fit too loosely and be able to be circumvented fair easily. 3) As others have noted, it's not compatible with quite a large number of hotel room doors. Might work, might not. 4) A very "standard" door lock will still be able to slide the bolt through a hole in the bar and close normally. Someone from the outside will just find a normal closed and locked door, unless they try with a key. (that part is ok). BUT for anything other than a super standard lock bolt size, it won't fit through the hole, which means it's just the addalock keeping the door closed now... and since it doesn't fit in 100% snug, it becomes obvious to someone from the outside that the main door lock is not engaged. The Travelers Security Lock Llc. : Weight: 9.28oz Price: fourty bucks or so. Operation: A relatively thick machined aluminum bar is provided. At the end of this bar is a large raised portion. Much like the Addalock, this raised section is inserted into the door and then the door is closed with teh aluminum bar in the jam between the door and frame. A second piece consisting of a notched block of aluminum and two long, padded bolts is then attached into the notch on the bar. The bolts are tightened until they press against the frame and door. Much like the addalock, any attempt to open the door presses against the bolt attached to the aluminum bar in the lock hole. PROS: 1) Heavy gauge machined aluminum block. This thing feels solid, and fits together like a precision part. 2) TIGHT LOCKUP! Once you turn those bolts hand tight against the door frame, NOTHING is going to move. Someone trying to pen the door from the other side might be led to believe that you had boarded up the door and nailed it down. This thing locks up the door so tight, there's not even a hint of a jiggle. 3) Very adjustable. The two independently adjusting bolts allow it to fit any sized door or frame with ease and the above mentioned tightness. 4) The bar on this unit does not have a hole in it. No matter what size door bolt you have, The door will not be able to latch with the bar in place. Which means the door will never be "latched" while you have the travelers lock in use. This PRO about this design is that there's a lot more metal in the latch hole, and it makes the bar very structurally sound. And it turns out to not be a Con in my book because the Travelers Lock is so adjustable that it locks up the door SOLID, so nobody that is trying to pull on your doorknob would even realize that the door was "open", if anything it would feel like the door was boarded up on the other side! CONS: 1) It's heavy! If' you're a backpacker, this guy is a serious weight investment. 2) The aluminum bar is a little thick. Maybe it is by necessity for structural integrity... but it's thick, and will have trouble fitting into tight tolerance door frames. BOTTOM LINE: they still haven't made the perfect lock yet. If they could make a Traveler's Lock with a thinner steel bar, that would be nearly "perfect". The traveler's lock will work in the loosest doors, and lock em up TIGHT, but may have trouble fitting in very tight door frames. The Addalock won't work with the loosest door frames, and locks the door a little looser, but it will work in very tight door frames. If your primary concern is: Weight - get the addalock Security - get the travelers lock flexibility/maximum coverage - get both

Works well to secure door, but practise removing it in the pitch dark/with yr eyes closed. You may have to in an emergency situation.

I tried it immediately on my door, it was very easy to setup.

La cerradura portatil viene con un estuche practico para llevar cuando viajas, como ventaja principal es la seguridad en la puerta, Lo recomiendo por su practicidad y calidad

Excellent lorsqu’on doit coucher à l’hôtel!! Personne ne peut entrer dans votre chambre une fois qu’il est mis. Très facile à utiliser. Ma fille de 18 ans l’a utilisé lors d’un de ses voyages. En plus, ça ne prend pratiquement pas de place dans les bagages et il est très solide.

This is supposedly the original Original portable door lock, not an imitation. It is a nice touch it comes with an Addalock nice pouch too. I am glad I bought two.
