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!

I don't know...I haven't traveled to India. I've only used it on home doors, and occasionally REMEMBERED to bring along to use on hotel doors. Didn't have a problem with it.

That information is incorrect. I have stayed at quite a few hotels and most of the time, the lock will fit the door properly. However, doors are not standardized in hotels. The gaps between the door and the door frame vary. For this lock to function, the metal plate has to be able to fit inside the door and the door frame. If the plate will fit in that gap, the lock should work without any problem. It is very easy to check if it will work just by sliding the locking plate into the gap. If it slides in, it should work. Now I did have one door it did not work on when in fact, it slid into that gap. This particular door had an unusually wide dead bolt on it and it would not go through the plate. I can tell you, when you have this lock installed, you can not open the door at all until you remove the wedge, even from the inside of the hotel room. It is dependable and it works but it isn't a universal fit on all hotel doors throughout the world. Take care.

I can't see where it would damage the door. That said, where I live right now, I am using it on a metal door. I can say there have been no indentations or anything to the door. The piece is small, but holds securely.

It is easy to apply, however, it is too big for most doors, I applied it to a wall, and it fell off overnight, landed in a pile on the floor, the back stuck to itself. It was damaged when we tried to pull it apart/straight to put it back on the wall.

I had no problem using this in our screen door. It has an aluminum framed window. I used smaller spline. "Slide-Co #P 7630 25&apos;.120-1/8" Grey Spline" Of course this will depend on the size of spline in your door. your door. It was a challenge to get it pushed in to the door, due to the screen being stiff but, it came out great when it was done. If I remember right I pressed the screen in first with the round end of the spline tool. Our Pitt Bull has yet to tear this screen. He jumps against the door to be let in.

Sorry, I haven't used it yet. I also purchased an Add-a-lok, which is cheaper and I think could be way easier to use. I used it in Peru and I use it at night at home for extra security to my front door. It works real good!

It doesn't fit tightly on my doors and I suppose it could slip off when not holding clothes or other weight. I have used these many years and have not had it happen. If you are concerned that it will, I would suggest putting a piece of non slip rubber material under it to keep it from slipping and marring the door. It is still the best product I have found for holding things on doors.

I don't know if it would work on such a door(s). I have only used it on glass panes which are contiguous, not separated by wood or metal...I don't think it would work if I had to guess. I wouldn't use this detector on beautiful French doors: rather, I'd use motion detector(s) on a wall which would not detract from the doors' looks. These detectors are about the size of silver dollars.

I don't see why not it just glues on around the openings all you just have to do is cut it to length. It really works well it's a very nice product it takes a little finesse to put on. Take your time doing it and plan a head I measured the width of the door material and taped off around the door opening about a half inch in.Then I applied the glue and smeared it around with my finger then I slowly removed the tape this gave me a nice clean edge so when I put the gasket on the glue didn't push out and look like a total mess. I am just a little anal about stuff like that it looks as though it were installed at the factory. P.S. don't push hard on the gasket when you apply it just make sure it is firm.

I have not used it as such but I have installed several of these units and it should work flawlessly on an interior door just as it does on entry doors.

This would not work for a sliding or pocket door. I'm not familiar with other models. Good luck!

This did not work for me. If you pulled hard on the door it would open; Our grandson, under two, figured it out. So I would guess there is a 50-50 chance this would work for you. My son has gone to another technique for bedroom and bathroom doors in his condo. They lock the doors from the inside while leaving the room! Their door locks allow this. They then keep a jeweler's screwdriver handy to unlock the doors when they need access. I have not found any other contraptions to child proof a door that don't require modifications.

It fits with no problem. We are using one as a privacy lock on our bedroom door, because the kids are too curious! :)Just require to drill two little holes, but it comes with a template and if you are handy, that should be no trouble.Battery last almost a year for us and still going strong. (Duracell I'm using) If the battery dies there is two other methods to open the lock from outside. It comes with regular Keyes (which you should hide somewhere safe) or there is a connector for a 9V battery on the bottom which will give extra boost for the old batteries inside and let you in as long as your finger is with you!

I applied this is an office building that had all of the windows facing south. It absolutely decreases the amount of light and heat that enter the room. I found that in the later part of the day, when the sun was shining directly in the windows, blinds were still needed. That said, it worked well enough to say that I would do it again if the opportunity ever presented itself. I recommend getting plenty of the installation solution and stiff squeegees. One last suggestion, make sure you have plenty of fresh razor blades. Change than out if you start having any trouble cutting. Trying to work through a dull blade is going to end in frustration. Good Luck!

I have not seen a problem with this. It dosent rub against the door causing scoring. There is a very small gap of space so I don't have this problem

It's a Contact brand product. Have you contacted them? We installed it on the inside of an exterior door and have had no problems with the temperature fluctuations, condensation, etc. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Worst that happens is you end up removing it, which is simple enough.

It says it fits doors up to 34 inches... I just went to measure my door, and to my surprise, I found it was only 32 1/2...I would say, If you want to give it go, you could get it, try it, if it didn't work, give it to a friend or family member??

gee i don't know but i did end up speaking to the owner of this company and he was amazing ! when he found out out i was going to use it on a door ( even though i had ordered a more expensive model) he suggested this one and gave me a refund ! he is amazing i can't speak highly enough about him and his company !
