BRINKS Door Security Bar - Adjustable Brinks Door Security Bar for Travel, School, Dorm and Home - Door Jammer for Hinged Doors and Sliding Door Security – Silver

The Brinks 675-83001 Heavy-Duty Dual Function Door Security Bar works as advertised. It is easy to adjust and install, easy to remove and replace daily or even more often, and once adjusted for any particular door and floor, is very strong and secure. Anybody trying to gain unwanted access through a door with this device properly installed will not be able to do so by opening the door the usual way. They might be able to break the hinges off the door jamb, break out the door knob or break through the substance and middle of the door, but they won't be able to open it through the latch side of the door, even if they are successful in picking the lock. The device is finely adjustable for different heights of door knobs and for different kinds of floors. I advise against using the device with the foot plate resting on carpet and certainly not with it resting on any rug or pad that could slide. That could allow tearing or slippage, either of which will allow play in the fine adjustments and will allow the bar to be dislodged under sufficient force. The adjustments are by sliding one tube inside another and using a spring-loaded button to protrude through a hole, fixing the length of the adjustment tubes. The length needs to be fixed so the angle of the tube running from under the doorknob to the floor is such that the tube is compressed when someone is attempting to open the door. I suggest two people cooperate to do the initial adjustment and installation. After that, one person can easily manage the re-installation with no adjustment required. The initial installment is done best with one person inside the door to adjust the bar length and placement and the second person outside the door to try to open it when the bar is in place and the door latch and any deadbolt are disengaged. Adjustment should allow absolutely minimal motion of the door with the latch opened. Any door motion on attempted opening requires either lengthening the adjustment tube or moving the foot plate closer to the door. Once minimum motion is achieved, the installation adjustment is complete and you are safe from anyone opening that door with the bar in place. I recommend this device highy for its intended use.

My tiny human of a wife feels far safer having this with her when she travels. Locks keep honest people honest, this keeps dishonest people from being dishonest while traveling. It folds up small enough for a carry on and is sturdy enough to give the would be criminal a chance to second guess his/her decision. It isn't the strongest out there but is the most convenient while still ha e good strength. It also prevents the occasional front desk mess up from being embarrassing. ;)

Great product. Very sturdy

Pretty sturdy. It should be a pretty good deterrent. A side benefit is that once you get used to using it you will also double check that the door is locked. :-) Side benefit, in some cases, it helps the door create a better seal with the frame to keep water out in a bad rain or better insulation.

Very high-quality and very easy to use highly recommend

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Makes me feel safe at night

I bought two and I love them. I feel so much more secure in my home. I think the bad reviews are due to not putting it at the correct angle. after trying multiple different ways, It works best at about a 70* degree angle. Which is much higher than I anticipated.

I originally bought this for extra security while staying long term in temporary housing. One afternoon while I was asleep, someone attempted to open my motel room door. The main lock had somehow been disengaged, and the door handle position looked disturbed afterward, but this security bar prevented the door from opening inward. That experience alone made this product worth the purchase for me. It is easy to set up, solid, and adds an extra layer of security beyond the standard hotel lock system. I now bring it with me whenever I travel or stay somewhere long term.

Excelente producto, llegó a tiempo. Funciona perfectamente. Es fácil de colocar y retirar. Si lo volvería a comprar.nde hecho necesito uno más.

très bien

This is exactly as advertised, very easy to use, adjustable, and extremely durable and well made, definitely gives you extra security and peace of mind! We take it with us when travelling to use in hotel!

Superb, not cumbersome security bar. Adjustable to various heights depending on your door or sliding doors. More sturdy than it looks.

We live in a 1950s house and, in order for the security bar to reach the handle of any of our interior doors, it needs to be set on the longest extension point. For the front and rear external doors, where the handles are positioned above the mid point- the jammer cannot reach.
