Door Stoppers Security - Portable Door Jammer for Travel Security Anti Theft, Apartment Hotel Door Lock - Protection for Homeowner and Children, Lockdown Device for Women Safety Self Defense (Red)

The media could not be loaded. This door stopper may not work on smooth surfaces, but I think it's still a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ product.Hear me out.I purchased and tested this product before coming to the realization that it's best used on carpeted surfaces. So imagine my disappointment when I tested it out on every door in my non-carpeted apartment and discovered it didn't work at all. Well, IF YOU'RE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME AND DON'T HAVE CARPETED FLOORS IN YOUR HOME, ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST!After reading some the most critical reviews, I came up with an effective solution. THE SOLUTION: a non-slip doormat with latex backing I typically use whenever it's rainy or snowy. I discovered this door stopper works PERFECTLY when used with this doormat. When I tried opening my door the door didn't budge at all, even when I pulled on it with a little extra force. The stopper even passed my kick test. If you don't already have a non-slip doormat, I highly recommend getting one. It doesn't even have to be thick. Mine is super thin at just 0.6 inches thick.Actually, before purchasing a new doormat check to see if you already have something comparable around your home, such as unused scraps from a roll of non-slip material (e.g. foam mesh or vinyl-like kitchen shelf/drawer liner or rug gripper). You could use a strong adhesive to secure a rough cut piece to the bottom of the circular part of the stopper. No worries if you don't have a strong enough adhesive on hand, though. To circumvent possible slippage simply use a larger cut of the material, and place it on the floor before securing the stopper in place. Either method should be effective whether or not the floor is carpeted. You may need to fold or layer the material for a stronger, more secure grip, though.Happen to have a non-slip yoga/exercise mat or anti-fatigue kitchen, bathroom or utility mat? Those could possibly work, as well. They may actually be better alternatives since they're generally a little thicker and more durable than the shelf/drawer liners and rug grippers. Whatever option you decide on, just make sure it is completely removeable and won't permanently adhere to or damage your floor (unless potential damage isn't a major concern to you).These alternatives are especially ideal if you intend to use the door stopper while away from home and are unsure what type of flooring there is wherever you'll be staying. You could probably even use a non-slip placemat, slipper or a grippy sock. In a pinch, I'd imagine you could secure the door stopper with just about anything, such as a folded piece of thick cardboard or cloth, as long as you tighten the wing nut as much as possible ensuring the stopper will remain securely fixed in place while in use and whatever material wedged under it can't be dislodged.Would it be great if this device worked on any surface? For sure, but it works amazingly well when used on carpet or with a comparable substitute. Would it be even better if it cost less? Of course, but given its effectiveness when used on carpet and with grippy/slip-resistant items I definitely believe it's worth the money.By and large this device outperforms the two other portable security devices I purchased. You'll notice I was also using one of them in the videos I've shared. I wouldn't say the other devices are completely ineffective. They just can't hold a candle to this door stopper imo. I'm in the process of packing up to move, but I'll leave more detailed reviews for each of the other security devices on their respective product pages when I have a little more downtime.TL:DR - This door stopper is most effective when used on carpeted floors. However, if your floors aren't carpeted you can still make it work. You just gotta improvise and do a little "MacGyvering".Below is a non-exhaustive list of removable and transportable slip-resistant alternatives that will suffice:• doormats;• yoga/exercise mats;• anti-fatigue kitchen/bathroom/utility mats;• placemats• foam mesh or vinyl shelf/drawer liners or rug grippers;• slippers/slipper socks• a folded piece of thick cardboard or clothA good rule of thumb to keep in mind when determining what measure of material to use when anchoring the stopper in place is that the mass of the material used should be indirectly or inversely proportional to the strength of the material's grip or slip-resistance. In other words, the more grip or slip-resistance it has, the less of it you'll probably need to use. Conversely, if it has less grip or slip-resistance, you'll likely have to use more of it.HTH ☺️

This little door stop is a small peace of mind that installs easily and works. I initially purchased it to keep my apparent Houdini dog from escaping my locked door. But as it turns out it is also wonderful when away traveling and not able to access my US phone # should the security company should call with a concern or door breached. One word of advice. Once in place the door cannot be opened. You must have another way to exit the home or business.

The product is a little smaller than the pics or video but it works great and is definitely secure easy to carry with you in the pouch provided

The media could not be loaded. As a public school teacher, I have recently not felt very safe in my classroom. I ordered this for both of my classroom doors. I have carpet in my room. These door stoppers work INCREDIBLY well. I put them down and used my full body weight to try and open the door. The door would not budge. These stoppers make me feel MUCH safer and are very easy to use. They fit under the door beautifully.

The bolt stripped out after just two weeks of use, but beyond the return window. The steel the bolt is made of is obviously very low quality. This item is complete garbage and the fact that there is no warranty or assurance of quality tells you all you need to know. You would be better served taking $20 and flushing it down the toilet.

I absolutely love this! It barricades the door and provides added security in your home, apartment or hotel room. I definitely recommend this product.

Placement is tricky, be sure to shorten it all the way each time for most effective performance.

I don't understand why Amazon keeps having me review items I've already reviewed. This is getting old real fast! Amazon get your act together. As I said in the first review I got this for my wife who travels a lot. It does keep the door closed when she said hotels.
