They used to have the Suzanne Somers all night Recording I had it on my iPod and they had an update and I got rid of the nighttime sleep Medford I was so pissed off. That was the best thing to sleep at night I’m not sure why they did that but that was just a cheap shot on their part
I live in the UK 🇬🇧 where can I obtain this please ?
Testing would be more of a practical review.
How do you use this from outside the door?
Door damaged. Hotels will charge for it
This seems great till one has a medical emergency and help needs to get in
unless the carpet moves, which it looks like it would under a lot of pressure
Door wedges are definitely a good idea. If you are in a hotel any number of people might have your room key. The only thing I would say is that this seems like a bit of overkill to me. Something of a sledgehammer to crack a nut. A normal wedge will do. Yes, it will not be as secure. But remember what you are trying to attain. The fact that the intruder has to start to make a noise and use some force to get into your room. By that time you are "up and at'em." The big advantages of 'normal' door wedges is that they are (1) cheap (indeed, you could easily make your own) and (2). it will not be a monster like this one, but something that can easily fit into a corner of your luggage.
Decent enough lock. 'Case' is cheap and flimsy and will be splitting very soon.
The device looks promising. However I do not think the video does it justice, it appears it was set up on the wrong side of the door. The device also has the potential to damage the floor, and door. It would certainly slow a criminal who wanted to gain entry, and would stop unwanted housekeeping.
where can we access this tool easily?
no need to screw into the floor. if someone forces entry? it pierces the floor to stop it? genius!
What about hard floors like in asia?
I don't think its that good. It would be better to have something at the centre of the door. Such as the addalock
Note on door to potential intruder: "This door is locked for YOUR protection"
Only good at night. Not for day time?
Fire & rescue said a charred body in room 521 was found clutching the screw of a strange wedge shaped object which prevented their escape........
will it put a dent in the carpet?
does this work with masking tape, too? Thanks.
Hole in carpet and damage on door.
Does it work on floors or only carpets?
Dude what if I’m late for work 😅👀
Hotels would ban this due to damage it can cause
Just the information I was looking for. Thank you!
I would like to see you try it from the other side.
What if there is no carpet???
You could see the carpet start to bunch when you barely pulled on the door, if I threw my shoulder and body weight into that door, that spike would just tear the carpet. Sorry but this is a false sense of security.
It may keep them from sneaking in but what if the doors kicked ?
NOT SAFE AT ALL ❗ REMEMBER FIRE⁉️🔥🔥🚒🚨🚨
I've been using a old shovel handle, does that only work /stick to carpet? Will it work on vinyl flooring aswell?
Dude....please stop speaking with that irritating "i am smarter than you are because i am so particular".....please! And especially when you are completely wrong. I know, in theory it looks great. But criminals have all day....sometimes years in jail....to think about defeating these gimicky products. If a person on the other side to a screwdriver, he could put the wedge until it went back or, more likely, sideways. Wedge 0. Bad guy 1. You -1. But i will now tell you the best way. 2 L type brackets with 5" lag bolts attached to DOOR FRAME ON LEFT AND RIGHT OF DOOR. Then, here comes the hard part, get a piece of 2x4 and drop it it. The door will only open ig the door itself disenegrates. You can put a pin through 2x4 and bracket so bad guy cant slide something in and like 2x4 up and out. Note....women hate how this looks. But it works. Also, I use this sign outside of all exterior doors.... TO ALL WHO ARE THINK OF ENTERING THIS HOUSE: "Family and Friends are welcome And may use anything they desire. If you are neither of those, then you need to go Elsewhere. If you come in my home and you ignore this warning, Then I will know that you intend on hurting me, or those I love, if required to commit your crime. As such, no quarter will be asked and none shall be granted. As you break through this door, I will be racking my 12 gauge. One, or both of us, is almost surely going to be walking out of here Today. You surely dont have a shotgun. At most, you have a handgun. At best, you will get off one shot before my shotgun spray rips your face and chest open. If you are unlucky, you may hit me....and then you are looking at felony murder. Either way, you ain't leaving here today with any of my stuff. If you are still reading, then we both Know that you are smart enough to just turn around and walk away. Still not convinced? Ok. Well, as you have been Reading, your picture has been uploaded to a facial recognition site and is now being processed. The police, myself, and my neighbors will all know everything about you 10 minutes after you leave. So, it would be best for you to move to a new zip code. And, you are welcome. Some guys would just let you come on in. The last thing you would hear is a shotgun racking and then your last words would be, "oh sh$t!".....and then everything would go black. I dont want to hurt anyone. But, once you cross this threshold, It comes down to you or me I have the advantage. I know the layout and where to stop you. So, Please move away now. Please. Thank you. If somebody comes in after that, they are insane.
Much easer way to block the door is use bended fork spikes into door lock's gap and broken fork's handle slided accross into fork's spikes. Simple :) ruclips.net/video/-lNFJt10w1E/видео.html
From a design perspective I can't see how this would prevent the door from opening what will happen is the door will drag the device especially on carpet.
Awesome for putting holes into expensive parquet floors such as mine.

You can sleep safely knowing in the morning you'll need to repair the hole you drilled in the carpet!
Yeah dumb

And when your house is on fire or the burgler came through a window and your frantic to get the kids and family out id like to see you manipulate that system..
I uswind chimes and it sets off my battery operated sensors secure. Camera run by battery so if they turn elect off can still no if someone trys come in.
Just saying, you're bound to have few loonies who have no idea on which side of the door (lock side or hinge side) this should be fastened!!! Hahahahaha........then they'll try to sue you because "it just doesn't work" for them!! (And there will be an idiot attorney who will be willing take the case for them)!
My primary concern with this gadget is what happens when you have a building fire and you are trying to get out of a smoke filled room or the Fire Brigade are trying to get in to rescue you?
You run to the door and open it
I have stayed in many different types of motels over the years. I sleep with my .380 pistol on the night stand next to me. I purchased one of these to give me the little bit of extra time should an attempted break in occur, for me to wake up and get hold of my pistol. If they want to try and defeat it by whacking it sideways, that would be enough noise to wake me up. As for fire, in 40 years of motel stays while working I never encountered a fire...I would simply knock out a window and climb out if this was on my door! Was glad to find this product. Folks wondering why buy it never had a drunk trying to get in their room at 2 in the morning by mistake! I have!
Does this stop zombies?
Great tool, now you die in a fire as no one can assist you. And now you will be blackball in every hotel you stay as this device is going to damage the carpet, hardwood floor, or any floor. Good job. I carry a small device that I hang on the door know; it is motion activated, or if that fails it has a string that will come off should the door be opened and a extremely loud alarms is sounded. I do use it when travelling in areas where I would be apprehensive.
I finally found this wedge online @ LeeValley.com www.leevalley.com/us/gifts/page.aspx?cat=4,53210&p=40812
You could probably walk under the door as the gaps that big?! :-)
Um you can tell it would just rip the carpet
Why dont you have the screw piece facing the other way when packing it away?
What kind of places are you staying in. and how many peolple have tried to break into your hotel room?
