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
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.
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.
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.
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 :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--lNFJt10w1E.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.
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?
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!
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.
