Secure-A-Lock™

Wow! I finally fell for something. I saw this and thought, for 16 bucks total, this looks like a cool idea to try on my next hotel summer travel spree. I thought this product was at least metal. I was even ok with really cheap potted metal. Yet, it is actually extremely flimsy and cheap china made plastic. Its not even 2 mils thick. I'd be alright even with plastic, if it at least had some heft to it. This product is really really flimsy. I could easily snap this thing in half, with just one hand. I have no doubt it would prevent the deadbolt knob from turning. But, This piece would not stand up to any force at all. If the deadbolt has any sort of actual mechanical connection to the key, a quick turn of a key could snap this. I saw a demo online where the key was snapped off in a lock held by this, so I naturally assumed, my mistake, that this is metal. Nope, just went slow enough to stress the key before the plastic. I'll be amazed if this makes it intact through even one full flight with the TSA. I'll right a good review in here, if it actually does work, but I certainly will be putting a shim under the door ledge anyways. Also, this did not come with the "support bracket" and "mounting strap", as the package claims. More worth the shipping cost minus the 15 bucks. I may just go buy 5 bucks worth of metal and a piano hinge and cut a "real" one out using this junk as a template.

Plastic. Hard to put on and stay on. Keeps falling off

i can't really give this product a rating, because i haven't been able to use it yet. the deadbolt knob on my door is bigger than the cut out on this device, so it just won't fit. the device is made of plastic, but considering how this device is designed to work, that really shouldn't make any difference.

Super easy to use just slip over door knob and dead bolt and it is good to to - I would recommend if you don't want to be interrupted by someone that has the deadbolt key!!!!

I was going out of town, needed another lock for hotel security. The product would not fit the lock set up at the hotel. It seems cheap to the point I don't know if it would work.

The product doesn't line up like shown in the ad because my lock and knob are not in a row and when you insert it on my lock it doesn't fit close to the door and falls off.

This product is made out of plastic and it was made out of metal I would feel a lot better, but since I am using this with other security products like Add A Lock and a Bar Door Jam (a rod that has a U shape that goes under the Door Knob and has a Rubber Foot on the other end) that kinda gives me a little more sense of security.

I use it at night so no one with the house key or a master key can gain entry. It fits snug and I can't even turn the deadbolt from inside, so I can imagine a key breaking in the cylinder if someone tries to force a key to open the deadbolt lock. Even though it is made of plastic, it is strong enough to keep someone from opening the door with a key.
