Add-A-Lock Review : Safe and Secure When You're Traveling


I went on vacation a couple of months ago and brought this handy little lock along with me to try it out. Because I have OCD and I am also on the overly cautious side anyway, I was really excited to use this product while traveling. I never feel very safe staying at a condo or hotel where we are not the only ones who have keys to our rooms. Add-a-lock is for just that....a feeling of extra security when you are feeling distrustful of a lock. It can be used on most doors that are hinged and swing inwards. Here is a video explaining it's uses:


I was SO very GLAD I brought this on vacation, because our bolt on our door actually broke and all we had for security was the lock on the knob itself. So, with a little tinkering, I put our Addalock onto the door and tested it's strength. It really did work well....and totally helped to diminish my stress over the bolt not working. 
I would totally recommend this as a gift for a recent high school graduate to take with them to college or a new apartment!! And, as you can see it worked out perfectly for me on vacation. Then only issue I had with it was that I was a little unsure of how to put it all together and luckily I had internet access....so, I just watched the video above and figured it out quickly. 

You can find Addalock online here:


I received product in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own and written in my own words.
