Let me start by saying this little white bar has become my new best friend when traveling solo. The AceMining Door Security Bar gives me that extra layer of protection that makes all the difference in sketchy hotel rooms or Airbnb stays.
The setup is ridiculously easy - just extend it to fit your door width (adjusts from 21 to 46 inches) and wedge it under the doorknob. The rubber foot grips the floor securely, and that thick 1.57-inch pipe feels solid as a rock. I've tested it by pushing against my own door, and trust me, you'd need superhuman strength to budge it.
What surprised me most was how lightweight it is (just 2.2 lbs) while still feeling incredibly sturdy. It fits perfectly in my suitcase without adding noticeable weight. The high-strength alloy construction means I don't have to worry about it bending or breaking under pressure.
The only minor drawback? You need to make sure there's absolutely no gap between the rubber foot and floor for maximum security. Sometimes on uneven surfaces, I'll fold up a towel underneath for better contact.
After using this across three countries and countless hotels, I can confidently say it's worth every penny. That reassuring 'thunk' when you set it in place? Priceless. Whether you're a frequent traveler or just want extra home security, this bar delivers serious protection without the hassle of permanent installations.
