Original Trustella Heavy-Duty Portable Door Lock - Stainless Steel Security Device for Enhanced Safety - Ideal for Home, Travel, Hotels, Apartments - Silicone Protector Caps Included (1, Black)

This little door lock is pretty amazing. Recently, had to order a new lockset for a door leaving it completely unlocked for several days. The Trustella portable door lock is pretty small...only about 2" wide and 4" long and comes with a small travel pouch. While we did not use it for travel, I can see throwing this in a suitcase pocket so it's available if needed. It was a little tricky for me to figure out at first, but once you get it into place it's very study and feels very secure. Even my locksmith was impressed when he came back to finish the door lock repair and saw what we had been using.

This absolutely works as described. I tried it out on my front door and it definitely kept the door from moving. Accordingly, it does provide a good amount of security. The only caveat I have is that this handy little gadget has to be screwed into the proper position to hold the door securely shut. While providing good security, it will make any type of quick exit, e.g., fire or other emergency, a little bit slower as you'll likewise need to unscrew it to remove it. In other words, this is not a quick-release item.

Nice little lock, it works and it's very easy to use. Not the fastest to put on and take off though.

I use this every night because I live in a studio with a door that doesn't lock all the way. This really helps with piece of mind because I know that it's locked on my end. It's now become a daily habit to use this right before I go to sleep

wow impressive actually. Really gives me piece of mind. i don’t think there’s many people that could get passed this guy.

Right on time. Checked into bread and breakfast and the deadbolt didn't work well. The inn keeper didn't agree with me since the bolt did technically latch (less than 1/4 inch went into the frame hole). I used this and felt very secure. I don't know what i would have done without it.

yfront door fit too closely for the metal to fit properly. In fact it messed up the wood frame and door. I made indentions in both. I am returning it.

It works well, very sturdy. my only issue is that it is slightly damaging to my door frame. It did come with silicone pieces that go on the end, but they don’t help with the indentions from all the pressure. My back door doesn’t close right and only has one lock so overall for the price it’s worth it.
