These can also come in handy if you travel often and stay in hotels alone! Just note that if you’re flying with it, you’ll want to keep it in an easy-to-reach spot in your bag, as one of our BuzzFeed Shopping editors said TSA flagged hers at two separate airports.
Promising reviews: “Saw this item on TikTok. Installed it on my front door and keeping it there. 10/10 recommend. Will be purchasing more in the future.” —Allison F
“I purchased two of these, one for my apartment door and one for travel. Home: This fits perfectly on my front door. It was tested when the maintenance man at my building showed up earlier than expected. He knocked, and before I could get to the door, he was already trying to open the door AND COULD NOT. This held, and he was really pushing. I know someone can get in if they really are determined, but the level of noise they’d cause would alert neighbors and give me time to react. Exactly what I bought it for. Hotel: I’ve stayed in one hotel and this did fit. It was loose in the door jamb, but once the door was closed, it didn’t budge when I tested it. Nothing is 100% secure. But this device definitely makes my door more secure then the lock and chain do! I highly recommend for anyone in an apartment and travelers. I practiced taking the lock off to be sure I could do it in a fire. It takes less than three seconds to set up and remove. Very happy with purchase.” —nancy w.
