That’s where the AceMining portable door lock comes in. It’s a reliable and versatile security solution that adds extra safety and privacy while travelling or at home.
Made from high-quality materials, this door lock can be installed in seconds without any tools.
“Just insert the metal piece into the slot of the door lock, close the door, and then put the red handle groove to the stud on the metal sheet, then no one can open the door from outside,” says the website.
The AceMining portable door lock has emerged on Amazon’s best-seller list, and it’s easy to see why.
Here’s what the reviewers had to say.
“Felt much safer”
Many reviewers say they felt much safer using this product while travelling.
“Working well, so far. Intruders cannot open the door despite all the door locks being unlocked. Great product,” wrote one reviewer.
Another reviewer wrote, “Definitely felt much safer with the added security, especially when staying in an unfamiliar area.”
However they had some issues with door types.
“It was slightly tricky to set it up initially, but I eventually got the hang of it! There were some inward-opening doors with a very thin gap between the door and doorframe that the metal bit of the lock couldn’t fit into but otherwise worked fine for most other doors.
Fits most doors
Unfortunatly the lock doesn’t fit all doors. Ace Mining says it can only attach to doors that swing inward.
And as the product description says: “The security door stopper contains two holes of different sizes to ensure that all types of door locks are matched.
“Perfect for hotels, dormitories, apartments, short-term rentals, Airbnbs, bathrooms, bedrooms, or private rooms. It may also be applied to avoid pets going out and prevent children from opening their doors to strangers.”
“Put my mind more at ease”
One reviewer went into great detail about why she loves using this portable door lock at home.
“This has been a FANTASTIC purchase. I recently moved country, and I’m living with some flatmates who do not understand the concept of a locked door. Having this on my bedroom door has put my mind more at ease, knowing that the front door to the house isn’t always locked.”
Pros:
- Super portable
- Small
- Not heavy
- Easy to take with you travelling
- Easy to use
- Has two sizes, so I imagine it will fit most doors
- Gives you peace of mind if you’re in a potentially unsafe place
Cons:
- None as yet
