I found this on CL. I thought you guys might like to look at it. I don't know how long this link will be good for.

It looks like a joke to me. It's not a lock, and will not increase security at all.

20 years ago in Australia, we sold a similar product, known as a portable door lock.....used when you are inside only.

It does not prevent bumping....but can effectively stop the door from opening even when the lock is unlocked or bolt/latch retracted.

What the...?
How is that meant to stop bumping?
Very odd indeed.

"Bump-Proof Dead Bolt Security

*Adaptable to any door
*Requires no tools to install
*Manufactured of high-quality stainless steel
*Completely portable
*Easy to remove in an emergency
*Excellent source of security both home and away
*Cannot be accessed with a bump key!!!!!!

Personal Door Lock is the innovative my dad who was concerned for the safety of his three daughters when we went away to college. He invented this unique lock, as a way to control access to our personal space in a manner which was adaptable to any door, easy to install, required no tools, and could not be accessed by others. This lock makes any door completely bump-proof home or away. Here are just a few of the uses.

Motel and Hotel: Motel and hotel dead bolts are key accessible form the outside, master keys are available too much of the establishment staff.

Apartments: Keys are not always turned in, locks are not always changed, and staff often has master keys to doors. Many complexes will not allow you to add your own permanent locks to doors. Most deadbolts can be accessed from the outside with a bump key.

Home: Add extra security to: garage doors, basement doors, and front doors. Bathroom and bedroom doors often are not equipped with permanent locks for safety reasons. Our lock allows doors to be locked when needed without the need for adding a permanent lock, or a lock that can be accessed by someone else with a key!


Bob's Anti-Bump Portable Door Lock is adaptable to doors of varying sizes and requires no tools to install. It removes quickly, and is built of stainless steel.

Excellent source of security…anywhere! Available in multiple quantities. "

Am I correct in assuming that this only works on doors that open inward? I agree with globallockytoo, it isn't specifically for "bump-proofing" locks, merely to prevent the door from opening at all. I still don't completely understand how it works, it looks to me like it bypasses the door lock completely (does the latch even close with that thing in there?) , and simply hooks into the jamb, preventing movement of the door. I suppose if it was in inward opening door, it could be quite secure. I'd prefer to see something that supplemented the latch, rather than eliminate it.

I think it supplements the deadbolt latch by bypassing the handle's latch.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I still think it'd be possible to make one such that the door is latched by the deadbolt, the handle's latch, and the device in the pictures. Maybe something that slides in behind the latch on the inside of the strike plate, rather than the short tubular piece that appears to block the handle latch. I guess that might make it significantly weaker, though.........

For $15, if it works, seems like a good deal, don't you think?

Personally, I don't like it.

What good is it if it only works if you're home?

That's one of the reasons why I don't like either. I just put that link as an alternative to the $15 craigs list thing. One could argue that insurance will take care of when your house gets broken into when you're away.

someone ask him why he mounted that db upside down.
the $15 door brace is nice for what it is. put a 1/2" hole on the jamb and it could compliment your standard issue hardware.
