  • I’ve tested the door lock and doors I’ve used it on, it does actually work if you set it correctly and it fits the door itself.

    For both, it depends entirely on the door itself, and neither would stop someone determined kicking through the door. I’ve stayed in plenty of places where the deadbolt wouldn’t work with the strap, but those are also places where the doors were made in China or Turkey, so nothing is standardized to EU/US/Canada specs.

    A regular ol’ rubber door stopper often does the trick just as well. Layer your security.




  • That comes up in that sub occasionally and people offer it as a service. It’s 2 different universes in there - people who are like giving a child a Harry Potter toy wand that think they’re magic, and then a stage magician with 20 years of experience doing up close slight-of-hand magic that takes work to learn, telling the kid “you’re not doing what you think you’re doing here” and then the kid starts to cry and their friends come over and try to berate the stage magician and shout that he’s wrong because Hagrid said Harry’s a wizard and if you have the plastic wand that goes “bbbring!” you’re Harry Potter.
