The lock you don't control

In a hotel, the front desk has a key to your door.

Housekeeping has one. Maintenance has one. So does anyone who talked their way into a duplicate at the desk. A standard hotel deadbolt does not change that, the property can override it.

A portable lock changes who is in charge of the door. It braces from the inside against the frame, so the door will not open from the hallway no matter how many keys exist on the other side. When you leave, it goes back in your bag.

The only door worth trusting is one you can lock yourself.

Where it earns its place

For every door that isn't yours.

It works on the most common door type, inward-swinging with a standard strike plate, which covers most hotels, short-stay rentals, and dorm rooms.

Slip it on at night or any time you're inside, and take it off on your way out. Nothing is left behind and nothing is damaged.

On in seconds, off in seconds.

1

Open the door

With the door open, slide the flat plate into the strike slot on the frame.

2

Close it

Shut the door so the plate sits inside the latch pocket.

3

Drop the bar

Set the arm into the plate to brace the door shut.

4

Leaving?

Lift the bar, slide the plate out, and it's back in your bag.

No screws, no marks, no installation. It travels with you.
For anyone staying somewhere new

Sleep the first night like it's your own lock.

The unfamiliar room is where people lie awake listening. A lock only you can open turns a strange door into a settled one, then packs away in the morning.

Layer your defense

A locked door, and an alarm on the window.

The travel lock holds the door from the inside. Stick the pocket-sized TremShield Alarm on the window or the door for a 125dB warning if anything moves while you sleep.

Good to know

Questions, answered calmly

It fits inward-swinging doors with a standard strike plate, which is the most common setup in hotels, rentals, and dorms. It does not work on outward-swinging or sliding doors.
Not while it is set. It braces the door from the inside independently of the lock, so a key or keycard in the hallway will not open it.
No. There are no screws and nothing adhesive. It rests inside the existing strike and comes off in seconds, leaving no marks.
Instantly. Lift the bar and the door opens normally. It only blocks entry from outside, never your own exit.
Yes. It is a small, flat piece of metal that weighs a few ounces and slips into a pocket, purse, or carry-on.
