DoorLock Pro Review: A Portable Door Lock That Stops Anyone From Opening the Door?
DoorLock Pro
Hotel rooms, rentals, a bedroom door that does not lock, or just extra peace of mind at home. DoorLock Pro is a small steel device that wedges into the door frame and physically blocks the door from opening. I tested it at home and on two trips.
What it is
A compact, tool-free lock made of hardened steel. One piece hooks into the strike plate of the door frame, the other slides in to block the door. No screws, no damage.
How it works
It uses the existing strike plate as an anchor. Once in place, the door cannot swing inward even if someone has the key. It takes about five seconds to install and remove.
The verdict
It is simple, solid and works on nearly every inward-opening door I tried. For travelers, seniors living alone, and anyone in a rental it is an inexpensive layer of security that goes in your bag.
