Review: Works! - I tried this out on my my house which is a newer home built in last five years and it worked! We used this on the resort room in Roatan and it worked great! Another layer of security and peace of mind. I would recommend trying it out, because there is a slight learning curve to use. But, once you get it it is easy-peasy!
Review: Genius Product that really works and at a great price - We've been struggling with our family member who has Frontal Temporal Dementia (FTD), a form of dementia often coming to younger individuals. She likes to leave the house and wander or take long walks and it's difficult to keep an eye on her while trying to work or get other things done. She can unlock normal locks and we were putting heavy things in front of the door, but she can move them. I saw this and thought why not give it a try. I watched the install video, read the directions, and then happily put it on our door on the first try. It's actually quite simple - open the door, insert into the latch, close the door, put the key in. Opening it - also easy! just pull it up and out. However - not so easy for our patient -- she has not been able to figure it out, and, since she's easily frustrated, has stopped even trying. This is so perfect! I applaud the inventor. It seems very durable so I see it lasting a long time. You can also buy a version that comes with a doorstop alarm just in case someone is able to open it -- we don't envision having to use that, but it also seems a good solution. I think this product is fantastic as well for personal security when in a hotel room, rental unit, etc. I will getting one for just this purpose!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work if somebody with a key unlocks it?  I have a nosy landlord who keeps snooping around...**
A: you have to be in the house it will not work if you wanna go out and lock up your apartment. if you are in the house and put on the lock whoever is trying to get in with a key on the outside cannot get in. i have a nosy landlord as well get the camera from amazon that looks like a air freshner the camera is very clear when you go to review your pics

**Q: Hi, I am reading that this doesn't work well on hotel room doors? Has anyone used this for hotel doors in India? Also is it easy to fit?! Thanks!**
A: I travel frequently and purchased this Addalock for just the hotel room doors.  I have found it fits all hotel rooms doors that I’ve stayed in.  Again I travel on business and find it works as described and makes me feel certain no one, short of busting down the actual door, can get in.  It’s also very quick to open so no worries if I have to get out in an emergency.

**Q: Will this product work on typical bedroom doors?**
A: i barely got it to work on my traditional ball and pushin button front door.  lf you try it, keep the packaging you bought it in and be prepared to send it back if it doesn't work.  l am doubtful.

**Q: My toddler can easily open the front door at grandma's house to get outside. Will this prevent him from being able to open the front door to get out?**
A: I do not have this lock but I have a grandson with autism.  His aunt is a locksmith and she came over & installed some locks at the top of my exterior doors that act as an extra deadbolt & have a pinch & pull system to open them that adults cannot always figure out.  They serve two purposes.  Extra security for me & also a way to prevent children from opening the door.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as it should, easy to use
*by T***R on May 11, 2015*

I live in an apartment and work from home some days. One day I was on a conference call when I heard a knock at the door. The man behind the door shouted "maintenance," but he literally gave me 10 seconds to get to the door before he just started unlocking it. The landlord didn't provide me any warning that maintenance would be installing new air filters that day. After that incident, I knew I needed some sort of lock. I narrowed down my options between the Addalock and a security bar. The reviews for security bars are mixed: the success or failure highly depends on finding the right angle and using the bar on the correct flooring. Also, while one of the more inexpensive security bars on Amazon is cheaper than Addalock, the better-reviewed ones are more expensive. I could not figure out how Addalock worked from the pictures. My brain just wasn't putting it together. So I searched "Addalock" on YouTube and there were several videos, including one from a home shopping network, that demonstrated it. If you are like me and the pictures aren't doing it for you, I highly suggest you watch one of the Addalock videos. As others have said here, this works best if you have a quarter's width between the door and the jam. I didn't have a quarter, so I used 2 and then 3 credit cards. I had ample space, so I ordered it. My front door has a dead bolt and a doorknob lock, but my doorknob lock hasn't worked since I moved in. The doorknob locks, as in the knob won't turn when the lock is engaged, but the latch doesn't catch in the strike for some reason. Maybe it's not long enough to extend into the strike. So right now I am using my regular dead bolt and the Addalock on the broken doorknob lock. I also tried installing it on the dead bolt, but my dead bolt could not push all the way through the Addalock plate into the strike. The Addalock still WORKED, of course, and no one would be able to get in, key or not, but it just seemed like more security against intruders to use the dead bolt and the Addalock on the lock that's broken. If I am trying to keep out unexpected landlord visits, though, then it wouldn't matter where I installed it because no one with a key could get into the apartment. When I first used Addalock, the door didn't open fully, but I could get it open a tiny crack. I realized that I wasn't properly lining up the stainless steel part that inserts into the strike. Take the time to push that plate into the strike of your door jam and then slowly close your door. After that, I couldn't move the door *at all*. I am so thrilled to have this portable lock that I can attach and remove whenever I please and one that won't violate the terms of my lease agreement. It's VERY easy to use, but it's just not intuitive from the instructions for some reason, at least for me. I am a spatial learner, so the videos and getting my hands on the Addalock helped. I was able to install it in under 10 seconds and remove it in under 10 seconds the first time I tried it. *EDIT: (10/15/2015) Maintenance decided to make yet another surprise visit without warning. As it turns out, he read the apartment number incorrectly. This time, unlike last time, I had the Addalock engaged. He could not open the door. He tried multiple times. I even heard him banging his shoulder into it. This lock really does work. I was able to answer the door on my own time rather than just have a maintenance man barge in on me in the middle of the day. If you're a renter with an inconsiderate or incompetent landlord, I highly recommend you purchase one of these for all your doors.
