First off, let me just say—this little gadget has been a game-changer for my solo trips. The HonesaLoc Portable Door Lock is *so* easy to use. I literally just slid it into the door gap, pressed the button, and voilà—instant extra security. No tools, no fuss.

The build feels sturdy too—stainless steel with an ABS cover means it won’t scratch your door (or break easily). I’ve used it in three different hotels already, and it fit every time. Though heads-up: one reviewer mentioned fit issues, so maybe double-check your door gap width first.

What I love most? The peace of mind. As someone who’s paranoid about sketchy hotel locks, this adds a physical barrier that *actually* stops the door from opening. Plus, it’s lighter than my phone—throws zero extra weight in my backpack.

Downside? It won’t work on doors without a latch gap (like some modern apartments). And while the red color is cute, I wish there were stealthier options for low-key use.

Verdict: If you travel often or want backup security for Airbnb stays, this is worth every penny. Just maybe test it at home first to avoid surprises!
