Add another layer of security when you are sleeping away from home.

This portable travel door lock installs from inside a compatible door, helping reinforce hotel rooms, vacation rentals, dorm rooms, and other temporary accommodations without permanent installation.

Why We Selected It

We selected this because travel often means sleeping behind a door and lock that we have not personally maintained or inspected. For our family, a compact device that can provide an additional physical barrier offers valuable peace of mind without taking up meaningful space in a suitcase or work bag. 

It is especially practical for spouses traveling alone, families staying in unfamiliar accommodations, and first responders or military members spending nights away from home. I've used this many times when I travel with my daughter's soccer team, and my first responder stays behind.
