They'd have to know you had one but what prevents someone from fishing a coat hanger under the door to pop the door stop out of the floor bracket?

The bracket is too heavy for someone to fish it out. You must make sure the floor bracket is in tight. I love my door club. It makes me feel much more secure than the long cane type previously used. I inadvertently left it in when my daughter came over and she could not open the door. Her comment was that now we know the club really works.

Are you serious? Why don't you try it yourself and see if it is possible. There is nothing for the hanger to grip and there isn't enough room to "jimmy" it out of the hole if it could grip. All you would end up doing is bending the hanger. The stop is heavy and protrudes multiple inches into the hole. The hanger (even if it could grip the bar AND had the room to "jimmy" it up) is too weak and would bend.

There are two ways to install the door stop. If you look at the picture you can see one side is flat and the other side has the rounded side. If you turn the door stop around so that the rounded side is against the door the door will not open at all. If you want to peek out turn the stop so it is like the picture an it lets you look out and still have the stop in place. Hope that helps..

Next to impossible. It sits very securely into the base, a coat hanger would not be able to lift up the door stop. As a matter of fact you will have to give it a good tug to be able to lift it up yourself. I stand by this product, it is very secure.

You can insert the club into the hole with either side. Because the way it shaped, one side sticks out further which means this side will allow you to push against the door as tight as possible and people cannot fish your club because there is no gap (your door is closed). If you choose the other side which sticks out less, it allows you to open the door with a gap of 1-1/2" to check out who your visitor is. Yes, this side is less secured and people can fish it easily. It goes into the bottom approx 2" inches. I use it purely for preventing key bumping while I am sleeping, therefore, I use the other side of the club. If you install it farther away from the door openning, it will make fishing more difficult. You can insert the club into the hole with either side.

I would agree with the other responses that the Door Club could not be removed by a hanger *under* the door, or even from the side of the door; however, I have glass in my front door, so if someone broke the glass to try and unlock the doors, and then found the door was still blocked, they could push out the rest of the glass and see the club, then use a hanger to lift the club up. It doesn't turn your house into a bank vault, but it provides excellent security that will hopefully deter most intruders.

It would be very hard but possible. Would have to climb up to the top of the door. Pull down and then twist the pin. Then get down and slide the door. It's not a lock that requires a key so no way to ensure they will not get out.

It can hang on two large flat hooks so it can be lifted off the door. That is how we use it. When we travel, we lift it off and try to hide it from anyone visiting the house when our children are "in charge."

not really, you'd need something to tie it to in order to keep it off of the person inside of it.

I would think so, but then a robber could just reach in and unscrew it. It also matters how much room you have between the bottom of the door and the floor. Remember the item is used for blocking out intruders, not to leave the door open.

Any door that has a modern door jam will prevent it from closing. The hooks for the organizer protrude approximately 1 1/2 inches beyond the door itself interfering with the door closing properly.

There is a plastic panel that slides in from the top to prevent access to the door. It will stop your cat or dog from running in and out but will not stop someone from breaking in.

If they really want your stuff no lock will stop them. That said most thieves look for easy targets so this lock will stop those kind of thieves.

The best answer is to use some decent lag bolts to secure it to your floor or some masonry anchors if you have concrete floors. Concealing it from view will also help deter thieves. Possibly mounted to the floor or wall in a closet. Most thieves want to snatch and run, not spend lots of time trying to pry a safe from a well mounted location. Every little bit helps.

No it physically blocks the door from opening. Actually someone on the outside could lock you in. Do you have a good deadbolt? The hardest part is drilling the holes, but with the right tools it's doable.

When u open the door to store the key there is a lever inside u can press that opens the handle so that u can put it on a door knob or any other item so it can't be stole

Hi, If you place the sensor outside, I imagine someone could steal it. We use our's inside as a door chime, the chime goes off when someone enters a door.

You could probably figure something out. You would most likely have to put screws in your door.

There is no key. But if someone unlocks your door. And u have an addalock in place, they can't get in without kicking down the door. Also, this can't be used if your not home as it is put in place from the inside.

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

If it opens partially and there is enough room to get a coat hanger inside, try bending the hanger and sweeping out the contents that might be blocking the door from lowering.Without more specifics as to not opening, I'm not sure what to suggest. I saw what the other responders wrote and did not want to duplicate their answers.

No , it's a safety lock to keep people from going out or people coming in. Can only be accessed from the inside.
