I get the alarm part ... but is it substantial enough to perform well as a door stop, slowing down an unwanted guest from opening a hotel door?

Yes, if the gap underneath the door is big enough to place the door stop under it, it will stop the door from being opened and will make a very loud sound that the neighbors can hear so you will definitely be woken up if someone tries to come in....

i don't think it works well. i was able to push the door in when it was unlocked. of course when it was locked it wouldn't move but neither would the door.

Depends on the floor surface. It has a rubber bottom that will give friction on a hardwood floor; on carpet, not so much. I would not use it as a door stop, but it is wedge-shaped so I suppose you could. Note that there must be a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor for this product to work: if there is weather stripping and the door is sealed to the frame when shut, there won't be space to fit the wedge in.

Martha,I don't think this will work on your application. If you can invasion a hotel room door from inside the room. This lock will only wok in situations like this. I hope this was helpful. I travel and use this lock to insure my door. Take care,

It will still work fine. In fact, you will only need to attach the sensor side since the magnet will cause it to stick to the door. Since the alarm only goes off when the door if open there will be minimal interference so long as you do not place the receiver directly behind where now open door is between the transmitter and receiver since the signal will now have to bounce around before being received.

Yes it can, the disadvantage will be that u will have to be sure u lock your doors as the lock feature on the alarm won't do this for u.

It works great for detecting motion in a narrow beam out from the unit, so if you place it such that the perp has to cross the "beam" to get to your door, then it will work for you. I don't know how it holds up outdoors but I've been using in indoors for over a year to catch a sleepwalker and it works great.

It seems to work really well attached to the door. Mine opens out as well. It give us notice that someone is coming. I guess you could mount it on the wall if there some movement to ring the bell. You could also put a string on it to pull to ring. It's a simple but useful little gadget. No wires. No electricity. Love it

If once you lock the trailer there won't be any chance of it accidentally going off, I'd say this is a good application. The only thing that I think about is what I would do at home. I wouldn't leave it directly in front of my front door, as the mailman puts mail through the slot. I wouldn't want that to accidentally set off the alarm (it IS loud!). But if you have a good spot for it in your trailer, this should work.

I think it would probably be appropriate for your use. It is loud enough to get your attention, but not annoying. It is the most simple mechanism, but it works very well. The price is reasonable and NO wiring.

they could very easily but im assuming the thief hears the alarm and assumes the cops are on the way...smashing it then wouldnt do any good....this may be a good assumption for soft criminals but for hardcore criminals maybe not. if you live in a bad area you may want a real alarm system. for the teenaged thieves inmy area I'm assuming this is enough...i have home owners insurance too so stolen goods would likely be replaced.

I see no reason why it shouldn't. I placed mine inside of my front door to my business and it works perfectly as an alert when someone enters.

The Doberman SE-0203OR travel door alarm works this way: There are two thin flexible 'prongs' attached by a wire to the body of the alarm. When not in use, they fit snugly into the alarm body. To use, you pull them out, remove the small clear band that holds them together and, keeping them together, you insert them into the space between a door and the door jamb. The wire is then looped around the door handle or knob so it all stays in place. The alarm sounds if the door is opened and the Doberman drops out. When it drops out, the two thin metal prongs separate generating a piercing 100dB sound. I'm sure this would NOT work in a tent zip as there is no sturdy space for the prongs to fit into! I believe the Doberman SE-0203OR is intended for hotel/motel doors while traveling or at home while you're inside. The instructions that come with the Doberman clearly indicate under 'NOTES' that "The unit is not considered to be weatherproof, so please do not expose the unit to rain" and "It is recommended for indoor use". There are several similar answers, by me and others, to this type of question on this site so read on . . .

I don't have this alarm but it should be able to do what you ask. Alarm just has to be programmed for those features to work. Just know that extra parts may be required.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

I used it when I traveled, out of the country alone for my hotel door. I am a light sleeper, I now have it on my basememt door.

Just make sure you hide it properly. The element of surprise will usually catch a person and move away. There's a magnet on the alarm it sticks pretty good if not use those gray packing tape.

NO it deters critters check walmart ...there are cheap alarms you can set to trip when you open a door or window

Seems like it would work. Alarm will go off every day and you can just turn it to the next compartment.
