Just got this little beast for my apartment and upcoming solo trips. Let me tell you—this thing is NO JOKE. The packaging was pristine (even though I opted for a returned item—score!), and setup took literally 30 seconds. No tools, no fuss.
The adjustable range (21-46 inches) means it works on my front door AND my sliding patio door. That 400lb force rating? I tested it by leaning my full weight (180lbs) against the door—didn't budge an inch. The rubber foot grips like a gecko, but pro tip: sweep your floor first for max traction.
Travel game-changer alert! At 2.2lbs, it fits in my carry-on without tipping the scales. Used it in a sketchy motel last week—slept like a baby knowing nobody was shoulder-checking their way in. Bonus: doubles as an impromptu closet rod when not saving lives.
Only quirk? The white finish shows scuffs if you're rough with it, but who cares when your door's Fort Knox now? Already planning to buy another for my mom's place—20-month warranty means AceMining stands by their steel.
