Great Portable Door Lock!
The AceMining Portable Door Lock Home Security Door Lock is a great buy.Easy to assemble and take apart once you use it a few times. The door lock works great and bought two of them.Only thing I would recommend would be to add a rubber end to the thin metal part that sticks out while applied to the door. I wrapped duct tape around mine since that metal sticking out could prove hazardous.Overall, the product works very well and pleased with it. Thanks!

Dangerous! Trapped Me Inside!
I think, from personal experience, that this type of portable door lock has a dangerous design and can easily trap you by not letting you open the door once you have used it. In short, the design does not consider that most spring latches weaken with age, and the latch does not fully retract to the edge of the door. The 1/16″ or 1/8″ part of the latch still sticking out gets behind the metal of the portable door lock and you are trapped.I tried out this portable door lock inside my bathroom at home. The flat metal part slipped easily enough through to the strikeplate.But the tool would not come out, and I was trapped in my bathroom! No one home. No phone on me. The window too small to crawl out of, and besides, the entry doors were all locked and I did not have a key on me.But I did happen to have a pocket multi-tool on me, a Leatherman Skeletor, and eventually thought to use it to remove the screws holding the lock to the door and removed the inside lock handle and pushed the outside lever to the floor. The door still would not open.The immediate problem was that the door strike latch spring mechanism would not retract the latch enough, using my multi-tool flat tip screwdriver bit to turn the latch back. I had to use the pliers part of the multi-tool to destroy the mechanism enough so I could force the latch back enough to escape.Free at last, I found out the problem and why this product and others like it are so dangerous. In a house with wood doors, the latch mechanism spring eventually weakens, and the latch does not fully retract to flush with the edge of the door. In my case, the latch still stuck out about 1/8″ inch or so, which did not effect the door from opening, as there is a gap between the door and the door frame/buck.But with this portable door lock metal inserted, it took up enough space so that 1/16″ of my latch was stuck behind that metal insert, and that is why I was trapped inside.I think this type of portable door lock is dangerous. Maybe a commercially installed steel door with a commercial spring latch would be OK, but I would not trust it at all. You’d have to measure the door gap and check if the spring latch fully retracts into the door edge first, if you happen to travel with a micrometer and feeler gauges.And on a wood door, it swells a bit as the humidity changes, so this portable door lock might just work when you check in, but might not let you check out if the door swelled a bit, say after a hot shower or during a rainstorm.Dangerous Design! Once trapped inside like I was, the only way out besides busting the door (which is hard to do anyway when you are inside an inside-opening door, and doors are expensive), is to not only remove the lock (which usually has to start from the inside of the door) but to then bend and break the strike latch mechanism so you can physically force the latch all the way back and flush or inside the door edge. Then you need to buy a new spring latch and install it.I just now went and looked at all 10 doors in my house, and on 8 on them, including one steel exterior door, the spring latch does not fully retract to the edge of the door or within it. All of these doors and spring latches are only about ten years old, and none ever failed to open before.

Excelente! Fica firme na porta, sem balançar nem qualquer folga.

Bought this great gadget because as a female solo traveller safety is paramount. So easy to use. Put it on the door each night and was very secure. Very easy to fit and functional.
