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

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

I wish I would have gotten these years ago. But when I saw a deal of 2 for $10, I had to give them a try. The results were surprising. Fits in a purse or pocket, these blockers can provide you added protection at school, work, home, and on travel. This is an honest review. I paid for these portable door locks with my own money.

    I have my bathroom door that locks on the other side. I don’t want roommate to come in. How can I lock my door bc he can get in my room? Suggestions

  3. @alndastib on December 31, 2024 at 6:04 pm

    Does this work on doors thst goes outwards?

  4. @thecolorfulpencil5845 on December 31, 2024 at 6:05 pm

    Don’t know why, I tried putting them on my entrance doors and the lock doesn’t lock when I installed the piece

  5. @joer.martinez2398 on December 31, 2024 at 6:08 pm

    You said it cost five dollars and give the website which takes you to Amazon where the lock cost 14.99 not 5.00. Did you not check what they charge before you gave the. Wrong information.

    I’ve just used this and it has jammed me in my hotel room

  7. @wasifkhan1997 on December 31, 2024 at 6:10 pm

    Thank you dear sir!

  8. @VAL30007 on December 31, 2024 at 6:10 pm

    It depends on the door. Which way it opens, if it opens out it’s difficult also I’ve tried to use one on a door where there was a large uneven gap between the door and frame which made it unusable. 🙁

  9. @coove3932 on December 31, 2024 at 6:12 pm

    Thank you. Will try that one

  10. @andrewclark3386 on December 31, 2024 at 6:12 pm

    Genius! Just bought one. My girlfriend travels now and then, she gets scared in hotel rooms by herself. Last time she went away, she stacked things against the door. This is a game changer for us.

    Looks great.

  15. @John-dd8kh on December 31, 2024 at 6:21 pm

    What if you want to lock it and get in from the outside?

  16. @Fatimah-qs5wd on December 31, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    That’s good but anything to secure it if no one in the room? We don’t want someone put in spy camera later. Because most of customers will search for the spy camera when they check in but they don’t through out the days they staying.

  17. @LK-bz9sk on December 31, 2024 at 6:25 pm

    Good review. Going to get a few. Thanks. Just subbed

  18. @Jovienne on December 31, 2024 at 6:25 pm

    Do this work on interior storage unit doors?

  19. @ghostprincessperona on December 31, 2024 at 6:26 pm

    Mine came and I can’t separate the metal lock with the plastic piece, the wedges to the opening that goes on the lock are stuck in the top plastic whole part, and it came pre locked. Yours came separate it looks to me, how do I undo this?

  20. @katvig1274 on December 31, 2024 at 6:27 pm

    bought on ebay

  21. @rachelweaver7802 on December 31, 2024 at 6:27 pm

    You literally did not show how to actually install this. Horribly done.

  22. @johannascott6197 on December 31, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    Purchased two of this style door lock for my wife and I and friends we were traveling with to Italy. At the hotels where we stayed throughout our trip to various cities in Italy the hotel doors doors opened out into the hallway. The door stops were on the room side of the door, basically on the inside of the room and there was no way of installing this security lock to prevent someone from forcing the door open. We did use the security locks at hotels in the US and they do work for what they are designed for. 0:15

  23. @MortenCopenhagen on December 31, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    Omg. You are not showing or explaining how it works!

  24. @bronx27 on December 31, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    Cool, but U need to show the actual metal part and where it actually goes. U never show that. Thx

  25. @Globally1201 on December 31, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO‼️😊👍

  26. @raymondmartinez8991 on December 31, 2024 at 6:31 pm

    I said I use them

  27. @MariaNovation on December 31, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    I have door that open to my home. The opposite of a normal dor. What can I use?

  28. @raymondmartinez8991 on December 31, 2024 at 6:33 pm

    Yes I use them thay work well 👍🏻💯👍🏻

  29. @nikiferrari2091 on December 31, 2024 at 6:35 pm

    I got some of these a few years ago to stop our child from escaping our hotel room during the night… it adds an extra level of complexity for young children and makes your hotel room secure.
    I can’t recommend these things enough 👍

  30. @bobf3598 on December 31, 2024 at 6:35 pm

    In the meantime, what if the person indoors using these, has a medical condition or other issue that requires emergency assistance and they cannot take it off. Now the emergency services have to get someone there to break down the door. Silly idea.

  31. @shamonevictory on December 31, 2024 at 6:36 pm

    It would be useless for someone who has glass windows on both sides of their front door and also useless if the door is mostly glass

  32. @Laura-ze3xc on December 31, 2024 at 6:36 pm

    My landlord refuses to install a lock on my bedroom door in my house i share with other peope. My bedroom is also 3 metres from the front door! I can’t sleep at night knowing someone could just walk in! I have been nagging them for months to install a lock, but im going to buy this, then i will actually be able to sleep! Thank you for the video, very informative

  33. @Hippie-i8g on December 31, 2024 at 6:37 pm

    Where can u buy these?

  34. @Debbie-k6u on December 31, 2024 at 6:37 pm

    The intruder could take this off

  35. @Here4TheHeckOfIt on December 31, 2024 at 6:41 pm

    What’s really sad is hotel break-ins were rare once upon a time

  36. @yifeilyu6916 on December 31, 2024 at 6:41 pm

    Helpful thanks

  37. @nliang9015 on December 31, 2024 at 6:42 pm

    Hello, I just want to ask whether I can use it to lock the door from outside? And then use a padlock to lock them together in order to let other people not be able to take it out?

  38. @daniellekelly2634 on December 31, 2024 at 6:43 pm

    I got this we are in Hawaii we are now 10 passed our rental car time pickup we are stuck in our hotel the door is jammed

  39. @GrantDWilliams82 on December 31, 2024 at 6:44 pm

    Ever heard of a 10 cent triangular block of wood?

  40. @MarcKlita on December 31, 2024 at 6:45 pm

    These are great but I can’t figure out how this would work on an inwardly opening door from the outside. I could see it working from the inside, but I need a locking system for my door when I’m out of the house cos anyone that sets foot in my home uninvited while I’m home will hobble back out like a cripple/a cripple.

  41. @andreaelizabeth5494 on December 31, 2024 at 6:46 pm

    This is not meant for solid homes securty

  42. @ryanvarley825 on December 31, 2024 at 6:47 pm

    Do people know if these work doors which open outside. So rather than pulling you are pushing ?

  43. @AngelGonzalez-gb3do on December 31, 2024 at 6:49 pm

    Sr you gaime a good idea thatyou🌎🗽⛪

  44. @Freddie-gv1yg on December 31, 2024 at 6:53 pm

    You should have shown your viewers where in put the chrome piece each time, then closes the door and attach the other piece. Instead, every time you inserted the chrome piece the door was only open a tad and nobody could see where you attached that chrome piece,

  45. @keithsnowdon3968 on December 31, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    A hammer and a 6 inch nail.

  46. @Trexmetarmen on December 31, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    I have a doorframe that doesnt allow this to work but i only found out after I bought this what do i do

  47. @faiyazhoquechowdhury9551 on December 31, 2024 at 6:58 pm

    Does this work other way around too? Like If I am going outside and want to lock my door from outside can I do that?

  48. @patrickjensen6688 on December 31, 2024 at 6:59 pm

    Car window moon roof car door hood latch car tire park sensor better than the club

  49. @cebuboybadianganon2548 on December 31, 2024 at 7:01 pm

    I need this, where to buy?

  50. @konradujma1960 on December 31, 2024 at 7:01 pm

    Thank you for your review. I will definitely use it.
