There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I narrowed down my options between the Addalock and a security bar. The reviews for security bars are mixed: the success or failure highly depends on finding the right angle and using the bar on the correct flooring. Also, while one of the more inexpensive security bars on Amazon is cheaper than Addalock, the better-reviewed ones are more expensive.
I could not figure out how Addalock worked from the pictures. My brain just wasn't putting it together. So I searched "Addalock" on YouTube and there were several videos, including one from a home shopping network, that demonstrated it. If you are like me and the pictures aren't doing it for you, I highly suggest you watch one of the Addalock videos.
As others have said here, this works best if you have a quarter's width between the door and the jam. I didn't have a quarter, so I used 2 and then 3 credit cards. I had ample space, so I ordered it.
My front door has a dead bolt and a doorknob lock, but my doorknob lock hasn't worked since I moved in. The doorknob locks, as in the knob won't turn when the lock is engaged, but the latch doesn't catch in the strike for some reason. Maybe it's not long enough to extend into the strike. So right now I am using my regular dead bolt and the Addalock on the broken doorknob lock. I also tried installing it on the dead bolt, but my dead bolt could not push all the way through the Addalock plate into the strike. The Addalock still WORKED, of course, and no one would be able to get in, key or not, but it just seemed like more security against intruders to use the dead bolt and the Addalock on the lock that's broken. If I am trying to keep out unexpected landlord visits, though, then it wouldn't matter where I installed it because no one with a key could get into the apartment.
When I first used Addalock, the door didn't open fully, but I could get it open a tiny crack. I realized that I wasn't properly lining up the stainless steel part that inserts into the strike. Take the time to push that plate into the strike of your door jam and then slowly close your door. After that, I couldn't move the door *at all*.
I am so thrilled to have this portable lock that I can attach and remove whenever I please and one that won't violate the terms of my lease agreement. It's VERY easy to use, but it's just not intuitive from the instructions for some reason, at least for me. I am a spatial learner, so the videos and getting my hands on the Addalock helped. I was able to install it in under 10 seconds and remove it in under 10 seconds the first time I tried it.
*EDIT: (10/15/2015)
Maintenance decided to make yet another surprise visit without warning. As it turns out, he read the apartment number incorrectly.
This time, unlike last time, I had the Addalock engaged. He could not open the door. He tried multiple times. I even heard him banging his shoulder into it. This lock really does work. I was able to answer the door on my own time rather than just have a maintenance man barge in on me in the middle of the day. If you're a renter with an inconsiderate or incompetent landlord, I highly recommend you purchase one of these for all your doors.
I really liked both locks, but for different reasons. Which one you choose to take with you will be dependent on your individual needs.
The Addalock :
Weight: 4.28oz
Price: twenty bucks or so.
Operation: A flat, thin steel bar is provided, it looks a lot like a cheap bottle opener. Quality is solid. at one end, there are a couple steel prongs that stick out. Insert the steel prongs into the bolt hole in the door frame, then close the door with the metal wedged between the door and the frame. A red plastic/metal triangular wedge clips to the end of the bar and settles down against the door. Trying to open the door pushes against the plastic which is attached to the bar that is inserted into the frame - not going to open!
Pros:
LIGHTWEIGHT. This is the strongest selling feature of this device. It is relatively thin, takes up a small footprint, and only weighs 4.28oz. When it works, it works well enough and prevents entry. Ideal for a backpack traveler who has to make every ounce count. Thin metal bar makes it easy to fit into tight door frames.
Cons:
1) Doesn't fit SUPER snug into the door. It will keep the door from opening or even moving much at all, security is good.... but it's obvious from the other side you have something small and "rattle'y" jimmied into the lock.
2) Needs the frame to be at least a fair to middling fit with the door. If it was a REALLLY loose door, I think the lock would fit too loosely and be able to be circumvented fair easily.
3) As others have noted, it's not compatible with quite a large number of hotel room doors. Might work, might not.
4) A very "standard" door lock will still be able to slide the bolt through a hole in the bar and close normally. Someone from the outside will just find a normal closed and locked door, unless they try with a key. (that part is ok). BUT for anything other than a super standard lock bolt size, it won't fit through the hole, which means it's just the addalock keeping the door closed now... and since it doesn't fit in 100% snug, it becomes obvious to someone from the outside that the main door lock is not engaged.
The Travelers Security Lock Llc. :
Weight: 9.28oz
Price: fourty bucks or so.
Operation: A relatively thick machined aluminum bar is provided. At the end of this bar is a large raised portion. Much like the Addalock, this raised section is inserted into the door and then the door is closed with teh aluminum bar in the jam between the door and frame. A second piece consisting of a notched block of aluminum and two long, padded bolts is then attached into the notch on the bar. The bolts are tightened until they press against the frame and door. Much like the addalock, any attempt to open the door presses against the bolt attached to the aluminum bar in the lock hole.
PROS:
1) Heavy gauge machined aluminum block. This thing feels solid, and fits together like a precision part.
2) TIGHT LOCKUP! Once you turn those bolts hand tight against the door frame, NOTHING is going to move. Someone trying to pen the door from the other side might be led to believe that you had boarded up the door and nailed it down. This thing locks up the door so tight, there's not even a hint of a jiggle.
3) Very adjustable. The two independently adjusting bolts allow it to fit any sized door or frame with ease and the above mentioned tightness.
4) The bar on this unit does not have a hole in it. No matter what size door bolt you have, The door will not be able to latch with the bar in place. Which means the door will never be "latched" while you have the travelers lock in use. This PRO about this design is that there's a lot more metal in the latch hole, and it makes the bar very structurally sound. And it turns out to not be a Con in my book because the Travelers Lock is so adjustable that it locks up the door SOLID, so nobody that is trying to pull on your doorknob would even realize that the door was "open", if anything it would feel like the door was boarded up on the other side!
CONS:
1) It's heavy! If' you're a backpacker, this guy is a serious weight investment.
2) The aluminum bar is a little thick. Maybe it is by necessity for structural integrity... but it's thick, and will have trouble fitting into tight tolerance door frames.
BOTTOM LINE: they still haven't made the perfect lock yet. If they could make a Traveler's Lock with a thinner steel bar, that would be nearly "perfect". The traveler's lock will work in the loosest doors, and lock em up TIGHT, but may have trouble fitting in very tight door frames. The Addalock won't work with the loosest door frames, and locks the door a little looser, but it will work in very tight door frames.
If your primary concern is:
Weight - get the addalock
Security - get the travelers lock
flexibility/maximum coverage - get both

I’ll be using these on vacation and on some of my home doors when I am away.
This product comes in a case and with installation instructions.
It is thick and large and won’t suit any doors. Not sure what it is intended purpose are.
It is only when you pay that it says in the instructions “may not suit all doors”.
