Just got back from a solo trip and this little gadget was a lifesaver! The ABS stainless steel feels sturdy, though I agree with one reviewer that it doesn't look super heavy-duty at first glance.

What surprised me most? How EASY it is to use! Took me literally 3 seconds to install in my Airbnb. The red handle clicks satisfyingly into place, and suddenly my flimsy hotel door felt like Fort Knox.

The included storage bag is genius - threw it in my crossbody purse without adding bulk. Passed through airport security no problem (TSA didn't even blink).

Only con: My door in Rome was super close to the wall, making installation a bit fiddly. But worth the 30 seconds of struggle for peace of mind all night!

Final verdict? 10/10 would lock again. Already planning to buy one for my college niece - perfect for dorms too!
