I just bought it for my own bedroom in India. I live with my parents and they don't put a lock on my door, and I'm a 24 year old woman. May this lock keep us all safe in our own space. Take care!
hope you are doing good
This is definitely a great and much needed item for truck drivers!!!! Especially when using truck stop shower rooms. Most drivers have experienced someone opening the door to clean while they're still in there!!!!
Really? I'd welcome that
Schools should have these in every room
I absolutely agree!that’s a smart idea never thought about that
Wrong, schools and teachers should train and carry a firearm in every classroom. Oh wait.. Government has entered the chat.
@Peopleless Homes that’s why I said train.. derp
*people should stop shooting up schools and places where children are.
yall realize there was a point in time where this wasn't an issue right? smh
@@b20beast27 name a developed country that does this
I travel often so I use this whenever I stay in airbnbs/hotels. Very useful.
Has it ever gotten stuck? I can't get out rn
@@xirixseven6032Did you get out?
We had a home intruder 2 days into a stay at a rental property. Pretty sure it was someone that had access to the key as there was no sign of forced entry. Thankfully we scared him off, but this would have provided a bit more peace of mind!
Wow I'm glad ur safe
THE POINT IS THAT ANYONE WHO TRIES TO BREAK IN WOULD MAKE ENOUGH NOISE TO WAKE YOU UP. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INSANELY STRONG.
The point is they’d make just as much noise without that device if you use a regular lock.
@@smokey04200420 they could pick the lock without much noise....
@@smokey04200420 The point (that they say a million times) is that dozens of people may have keys to where you're staying. Hotels especially,. But even houses or apartments. Maintenance workers have keys and anyone could break in and steal maintenance keys as well, so this is an extra step they'd have to get through.
Enough time to line up your sights....
@@smokey04200420 they have a key and it makes no notice
My dad has a HUGE knocking issue. He doesn’t ever learn to knock. This is the 6th time he walked in on me while I was changing. Finally taking matters into my own hands and buying this lock.
This makes me concerned that he's intentionally trying to catch you while you're changing. He'd soon stop if you told him you'll have to report him if he carries on. Its not OK. Unless toure under 10, you should be knocking. You're teaching your kids the value of privacy and respect
Your dad is trying to see you smh. No if ands or Buts. Stay safe and move out first chance you get. My dad was the same way. Especially while in the bathroom
Naaaaah I’m sorry but your dad is giving weird incestuous vibes. Please be safe
@@melissasmith7853 Not everyone has the option to move. I honestly wish people would stop saying that like it's that simple. I would never tell someone to do something unless I personally can help them do it.
@@englishatheart That's why they said "first Chance you get"
Just saw an advertisement for this on my Instagram feed, so I decided research it... I'm sold. I'll definitely be ordering a pair.
Not designed to stop a kick in.. It's to provide some resistance if someone has the key in the room you are staying in. Such as a hotel room, AIRBNB, rental, etc. Not rocket science
If somebody is kicking it in you have other problems lol that being said this would help against a kick in. I usually put my belt over the hinge ontop of doors to stop it and sometimes a chair and glass cup. Something that will be loud and wake me and jam the door. It will buy me time and time buys you options.
such as my own mom. 🥰 it’s totally not annoying
paolaa not at all 😃
Of your strikeplate has 3 inch screws, this will hold up against a kick in.They would have to snap metal otherwise.
I would use sofa to block the door in this case.
Mine just arrived. I had to use mine on the deadbolt part of the door because it wouldn't fit into the other hole. It works well. Even once I disengage the deadbolt, the addalock prevents the door from opening.
I purchase two from Amazon for 12 bucks and they're definitely worth it. I live in an apartment and sleep better now that I own these.
My landlord keeps coming in at odd hours this is perfect
I need this. Last summer I stayed in a nice Holiday Inn Express and it had the extra flip lock on top of the door. I was woke up with my door shutting. Someone opened that door, probably hoping I didn’t have that extra lock flipped.
Nice design, works well and very easy to set up.
Sweet, gunna buy this
I bought mine at amazon it does come in 2 with a red case. It works. And then also get the door stopper
What kind of door stopper?
Yess doing that
Just got mine. Can’t wait to use them.
took two weeks to arrive from America, .... but worth the wait .
Really useful lock , works on every door . If it don't fit a wee bit of slight wood removal ( 16th of an inch )
or move the metel bits with a pliers will make it Total Universal.
Money well spent.
if you going to get one.
order two , cos they work well.
even on my caravan/ R.V.
from Canterbury U.K..
How is this actually holding the door locked? I see it working but what's it gripping on?
Does it rust in places like the tropics?
I've just got ordered one for my mother and her ex bf tried to kick the door down would it stop a kick as well?
With the metal strip going down the middle of the opening for the bolt, it prevents the bolt from going into the strike plate. When they demo'd that one, the door swung back open a little after closing it. There was another version without that strip that seems to function as expected. This is too weird, and like other commenters here, a good kick would bypass it easily.
It seems like it's more useful to keep the maids and whatnot out at a hotel. I've had them walk in on me even when I had do not disturb on the door.
theres no metal strip on some of them. im guessing they're using a faulty one idk
but honestly doors in general are easy to kick down. when i was 12 i kicked down a metal door when i ran away. but practically, what hotel would kick down their own door 😂
if they really wanted to come in they'd kick the door in... but in doing so would make a lot of noise and wake you up..
How about if they have spare key? I don't think I can use it at home for my bedroom door. I bought one and i tried but it's not effective specially if they spare key
I think this one was a messed up adalock. The official adalock doesnt have that obstruction in the striker hole. Idk why this one doesnt let the lock engage, but the official one does not have this
Yeah, you'd think they'd check that.
Prolly just a demo version.
I think they put the obstruction to show that the door wasnt able to lock it self
I noticed that. How did their door shut in this demo?
If you look on the table they are both different.
Wonder if this works on doors of old houses...
What's with the piece of metal that is going through the striker hole. That doesnt lit the striker come out and engage itself. The ones in the home clips dont have the small strip in the striker hole. I wonder why on this demo ome there is a block to stop the striker from coming out of the door? That makes no sense
I'm surprised they didn't boast that it makes a good bottle opener....
You can lock
The door when your inside but how if your outside of the room snd your want to lock it?
My door doesn’t shut properly. Would it still work?
As one who already owns this remember to also change screws in door latch to 3inch. & These are great but you have to hold them in place as your closing the door at the same time so if someone is right behind you your screwed but overall yes they work very well
My screwed? You want "you're" there. 😛
What about people with mild dementia ? Could they get it open?
What about getting back in when you leave
I love mine, and it works.
this would be good for student bredrooms at uni... there are a lot of landlords that dont bother with locks...
They need to offer strike plates with different widths b/c these days not all doors are created equal
That's why there are 2 heart shaped holes in the chrome plate and the red slide is adjustable up and down which changed the width from the striker hole to the inside of the frame
Seem like a compression locking mechanism, but I still don't see how it stays in the door.
crazy girl open my door while I'm sleeping and I dont have the key of the door, I'm looking for something like this
I was victim of an assault when I was living in a university dorm. One night a man broke into the room I was sharing with another girl. I woke up with assaulter physically on top of me. I still suffer trauma from this event. I wish I had had this back then. After the event, every night I would put a mini fridge against the door as long as I lived in a dorm.
will it open bottles?
Can you use these back wards tho ?
Great for AirBnB's FOR SURE!
yeah what kind of metal????
I bought one of those for my sister and I'm buying another for myself at the end of the month but I'm buying the updated version of this on Amazon
My apartment door doesn’t have a bottom lock on the knob so I’m going to try this!
Samee
How about outside.? I want to make sure my house is safe whenever I am outside
Enough force by kicking the door would bust the frame, I would add 3inch screws to the strike plates and door knob and deadbolt.
No one said this will guarantee a kick in...
If someone is kicking in your door, you got bigger problems than what this tool is for.
The design on the video will not allow for the primary lock >the one that comes with the door< to to work . So add a lock should be called replace a lock. as you are not using both locks which is a design flaw . More appropriately is should be called THE KEY STOPPER. Your ad on yahoo reads"Little Tool Makes Intruders Impossible To Break In
"thats lawsuit speak" you might want to do something about that.
Thank you for the video. I was looking for a portable door lock. I know what to get now.
I’m getting this to take on my mexico trip
I bought one. But mine is stuck and the door is jammed. Does anyone know what to do?!
me and my cousin used this and it got stuck on the door we have been trying to get out for 20 minutes
Does it work for double doors
So what about when u leave ?
What about when your not home?
Thanks
Why is there a metal in the middle of the Insert? Isn't two better than one.
It was a demo version real version doesn’t have that
Can anyone suggest something for locking and leaving please and thanks
the door latch is pushed into the dooe, it does not engage? I'd use the fork idea. so much better, safe, and cheaper
the new ones have an open hole, no bar.
what is the fork idea?
@@spunkywarrior777
Yeah, I'd like to know too!
@@spunkywarrior777
I found it last night.
You take a fork, measure the tips in the lock and then bend the tips in a vice grip to a 90° angle (bang with a hammer). Then you need a saw to cut the handle off.
I don't have a vice grip or a saw anymore, so I wouldn't be able to do it. (I don't have a workshop since I moved.)
There's a video on youtube for it.
If I see it again, I'll try to post the link here for you. You can probably find it with a search though.
Most hotels have double lock
Does this work with door knob as well? You know, the round one
Yes it does work for round door knobs
They needed this in Moscow Idaho.
But if someone opens the deadbolt from the other side, won't it just drop out?
Idk what type of doors you ppl have
Def getting this for my room bc my fam has a key lmao
Lmaooo
Can anyone tell me how to use on door when I go to work
I am pretty sure if you can fit two Credit cards in the jam, you can by pass this easily by putting a small L shaped piece of metal through the bottom pushing up and having the red handle portion fall off, bypassing the only feature stopping this from opening
This might work I don't know but the average person is not going to have that stuff they are not going to know about it. you know they could just kick the door in but what they're talking about here is people that already have keys and nothing is 100% but this is surely about 98% and I have two of them and I'm glad I do I live in an apartment complex and if what you say is true you had no business putting it up here
This is good because in the night or if your in a hotel or bathroom you can't tell if someone is trying to pick the lock espically if you are sleeping or in the shower. This might not stop someone but it gives you a few seconds or maybe enough time to either get ready, hide or call the police. If something where to happen to you those few seconds you have you can call 911 and the operator can here you and that will save you.
Nice bottle opener
I admit I did not watch the whole video so this might be explained. However, the version that they are demoing in the studio should be called 'replace-a-lock' as the door catch will not go in the hole of the door jam. This will preven the original door lock from engaging. There is a metal piece in the way. HOWEVER, in the recorded videos, (3:17 for example) the version they show does not seem to stop the door catch from going in the jam. I wonder why there is two? I would think the the one with the hole for the catch would be better, but there must be a reason they built the one that blocks it.
was thinking the same thing P K ....never found an answer
if it relied on the door latching you'd need different plates for different locks
Sorry, but I have been a joiner / Carpenter since I left school and I can not see any advantage of fitting one of these at all?
This is basically for internal doors without any sort of bolt on them to hold them shut just like any sort of bolt would.
Hotel rooms have locks fit on them not just a door latch that this is designed to fit.
like they said in the video, it’s mainly for people who may have key access to your place and you don’t want them to just come in unsolicited.
for instance, the reason i bought one and a very annoying problem i have is that the maintenance in my apt building has a habit of coming and going as they please after knocking once and assuming i’m not here. & if i’m not inside i really could care less if they come in and do their job, which is why the lock only works when you’re inside. this is my space, i know they’re trying to do their job but they have to understand that this is MY space and they can’t just barge in because they want to check a fire alarm. this happened a few days ago where i was showering with music and a woman came in yelling to get my attention just to tell me they were here to replace my bed, which again is fine, but literally if i’m naked in the bathroom, regardless of who it is, i don’t want someone randomly coming in just because they have a key and i’m unaware.
I wish this worked for my door .. it didn’t fit in I guess it’s because my door or whereever they place this is small. What do I do though, I don’t feel safe
Is there like a smaller size of its just a general size
I still don't understand how it works
Mine is stuck and I can't get out the house
Love it
My room doesn't have a lock on it so I'm probably gonna buy one of these
It’s okay with ideals but must have lock for the outside bases that, when you are get away from the hotel rooms that not bother by anyone’s.... Unless authorized to may entering them....
I have an old door with no lock - would it work for that?
no , it wont fit
Just got mine. Unfortunately it does not work with the majority of doors in Greece. It only works with “straight” doors...
Τι εννοείς με το straight doors ;

This will help my safety. My uncle has been sneaky on me all the time. He broke my door lock for 3 years. I knew that he look down the small gap from bottom door to look for me when I’m taking the shower.😞
any lock for leaving? Because he still goes to my room when I’m not home. Can you guy give me any suggestions?
Please get to somewhere safe ASAP.
if you're still in school talk to your counselor! if no school please talk to the police that's not right at all and could turn into something worse in the future. take care
Your uncle is evil and you need police
Bruh just have fun together in the shower and he’ll leave you alone
It stuck in my door and i locked myself in the room 😭😭😭 how can i unlock my self
Couples at home are definitely using this to prevent their kids disturbing their romance time at night 🤣
Lmao, I read a comment about how they 'no longer had to explain that mommy and bf are wrestling' 💀 🤣 😂
I don't think people should use this at hotels though,because if it's an emergency it will be hard for paramedics to get to you.
I need one for locking and leaving.
You need a deadbolt. Relatively easy to install.
Depending on how secure you need it, a hasp and padlock would be even easier.
Get yourself Schlage deadbolt they’re cheap and very sturdy not too easy to pick.
One kick bruh. Litterally test this thing once
False security is what we have here! Going to test out another form of security involving a 357, currently waiting for a volunteer to kick in my door
Does this mean if the person has keys trying to get in from outside , then this would not work?
That's seems to be the idea.
@@Warvvolf But how? I dont understand
@@RR-uq1fu Hmm. Okay. I see now. It's not dependent on the lock's latch but rather uses the strike in the frame as an anchor and the red plastic piece holds the door in a bind. So no, the key won't work from the outside because the latch is already pulled back. If your door doesn't have a deadbolt with long screws this would be convenient option.
@@RR-uq1fu Read some more comments and the newer version do let the latch engage but it shouldn't make a difference whether someone has a key, because the addalock will remain in a bind on the inside.
When you move out of somewhere you have to turn. Keys in
I just bought some of these after maitenance came in my home unexpectedly and ran up to my room and started knocking.I told them to go away because I was naked.But they said cover up so we can see the room.I said no and they left but I'm going to make sure they never bust in my apartment while I'm home again unless I let them in.
Not to scare you but hope you got this. In Florida a maintenance guy was obsessed with a young student and he entered her apartment because he had master keys. I highly recommend this
That's scary. No one should be able to get in without your permission tf
Will it work on both sides of the door?
dude.. you planning to lock someone in?
Can this stop my cousin from opening my door with a credit card? Lol
The property management changes locks between renters. They aren't about to take on the liability of giving someone else access to your apartment or house!!
Ok ? It’s not just about that
Super easy to change your locks
Not in a hotel...not in an airbnb...not when you have to hire babysitters, contractors, etc...or when you have lots of roommates in past history. who all may have a copy of the key. If you live in a perfect bubble where no one else on Earth has a copy of your key and you never travel, then sure, you don't need this I guess.
This lock will not work on any doors in my house. Gap not big enough. Door opens outwards etc
You can do the exact same thing just using a regular fork! Also, this model is stupid because it prevents any dead bolt to lock the door so you rely only on this thing..
Life must be hard for you.
The new one allows the bolt to close, that's the only reason I decided to purchase it.
The fork is so unreliable lock the door and then tell someone on the outside to just push hard it falls out because it doesn’t curve around the whole lock knob
It's good if I have no lock at all at least it is something
Okay I cannot for the life of me get an answer for this. Can I use this to keep people out while I am gone? Or is there no way to open it from the outside
No, it is for protection when you are inside
@@debrajenkins5390 ugh. I need something like that
They are good but if your door swings the other way you can use them
Dont recomend that type of door setup. If your door swings outward it can be taken off the hinges.
Ok so what if there is a fire and the person for some reason is trying to get out the door and is in a panic and dies in the fire. But hey, at least now one is getting in, that means the fire department or someone trying to help.
Hi I’m wanting to buy one where can I order it ?
On Amazon, I just ordered a few days ago and got mind today!
Where do you buy
Amazon.
whats in the basement 🤨
Can anyone confirm if this works if the door goes outwards to open?
it doesn't
This has one of my doors stuck. I can’t open at all I need help.
I love this product. Why isn't QVC carrying it any longer? It save my life.
No it didn’t. Why are you falsely backing a bogus product
