Master Lock Sliding Door Stopper and Door Security Bar, Adjustable for Hinged and Sliding Doors, Compact Enough to Travel for Hotel Security, White, 270EC

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Master Lock door security bar, specifically the 1 Pack, 265EC model. Over the past three years, I've relied on this adjustable tool to enhance the security of my sliding and front doors. Although my first one eventually broke, I'm pleased to say that I purchased another one without hesitation due to its excellent performance. In this review, I will outline the key features and benefits of this door security bar. Sturdy Build and Adjustable Design: The Master Lock door security bar boasts a robust construction that inspires confidence in its ability to withstand pressure and provide reliable security. Made from high-quality materials, it feels sturdy and durable—essential for any security device. Furthermore, its adjustable design is one of its standout features. With a range of 27-1/2 to 42 inches, this security stopper can fit a variety of sliding and front doors, making it a versatile choice for homeowners. Effortless Installation: Setting up the Master Lock door security bar is a breeze. Its simple design allows for quick and hassle-free installation. All you need to do is adjust the bar's length to fit your door, position it firmly against the floor, and ensure it is secure. The whole process requires minimal effort and time, making it convenient for anyone seeking to bolster their home security. Reliable Performance: Throughout my three years of using the Master Lock door security bar, it consistently delivered reliable performance. It stood firm against attempted forced entries and provided an additional layer of protection for my home. I was particularly impressed with the added peace of mind it offered, knowing that my doors were reinforced with a sturdy security stopper. Versatility and Multi-Door Use: The Master Lock door security bar's adaptability is a significant advantage. Its adjustable length allows for use on both sliding and front doors, making it a versatile choice for different entryways. Whether you need protection for your patio door or main entrance, this security bar can easily meet your needs. Room for Improvement: While the overall experience with the Master Lock door security bar has been positive, it is worth mentioning that the durability could be improved. Although my first bar lasted for three years, unusual force or frequent adjustments may potentiallyh shorten its lifespan. It would be great if Master Lock could enhance the durability of this product to ensure its longevity. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Master Lock door security bar offers reliable and versatile home security for both sliding and front doors. Its sturdy build, adjustable design, and effortless installation make it a sought-after choice. Despite the possibility of durability concerns, this security stopper's overall performance and peace of mind it provides make it an excellent investment for homeowners. I highly recommend the Master Lock door security bar as an effective, affordable, and user-friendly measure to enhance your home security.

I recently purchased 2 additional Master Lock 265DCCSEN Dual-Function Security Bars. I bought 2 more because I am just that impressed with this product. There are a lot of "expensive" front-door security items, designed to hinder or bar someone from kicking-down your door. This is one of the best options at the best price. It's design is very simple, and for once... we have a case where the designers really thought through what they needed to do to accomplish the job, and meet everyone's needs. As indicated by the photo of the product, it has small holes evenly spaced in double rows along the side of the Security Bar. A spring-loaded pin snaps into place in the hole to maintain the proper length and tension. All you have to do is extend the bar to the proper length, then let the little spring-loaded pin pop into the hole. That's it! You're done. This makes the bar TOTALLY adjustable to meet anyone's doorknob height. And once in place, it will take quite a bit of force to get past this Security Bar. It basically works as a wedge to bar anyone from opening the door. And the rubber foot that touches the floor grips in such a way that it will not slip, and it will not move. As long as you set the correct length, and have it wedged in firmly and properly, you are safe. This gives me tremendous peace-of-mind (as well as an excellent time-delay for any would-be intruder). Sadly, there have been some home invasions that resulted in fatalities, due to someone being surprised by thugs kicking down their door... while they were home. As I stated above, NO ONE will surprise you by kicking down your door with this product on it. At the very least, the moment they fail with their first couple of kicks, you will have more than enough time to call 911, and take whatever other precautions you decide on. But the one thing you will NOT have to worry about is someone quickly kicking down your door, and catching you off guard, before you have time to react. It would take Godzilla himself to kick down a door with this Security Bar on it. Even if someone is under the proverbial "hopped-up-on-crack" scenario, they would either tire out their leg trying to kick this in... or make so much noise in trying that they would either give up... or give the cops plenty of time to arrive. This also makes this product excellent for people who have a two-story home, with their bedrooms upstairs. This product is dual function because it can also work as a Patio Door bar to stop someone from sliding open your patio door while this bar is on it. Simply remove the plastic guide used to hold it in place around a door knob, and lay it in the slide-track to find/set the right adjustment, and it is ready to use on any sliding glass door. I might also add that it is also ideal for the side-door leading into your garage from the outside, as well as the door leading into your kitchen from the garage. Both of these doors are out of sight, giving a would-be intruder the freedom to work out of view, and also giving them the opportunity to take more time than they could on a front door. I would also recommend it for single-ladies who want to keep one in their bedroom or their children's room, in case of emergency. I HIGHLY recommend this product. It is durable, sturdy, simple, and effective. And at $15.99, the price is right. Even after you factor in shipping and tax, this is cheaper than buying it locally. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Per described

Top quality item very strong and added security to any home buy with confidence

Good, high quality product

Used to support an apartment door with a wood veneer floor. Its easy to setup, put in place, remove. In place it’s sturdy and better than the usual small lock used on hotel apartment doors. I bought this as a gift for a relative who lives alone. Good value.

Nothing out of the ordinary here. The rod is relatively sturdy. The foot pad is nice with a bit of pivot, while the other end has a fork type plastic material (used to prop up under a door knob) that can be removed. I bought two of these used one on a sliding door while used the other to push onto a standard doorknob. It worked well in both instances. For the doorknob application I am a bit skeptical of how well it would hold because it was essentially the padded feet holding the entire security bar in place with the other end bracing the door knob. But it wasn't too bad. The pad was anti slip enough to provide as expected resistance on hardwood, but I can definitely see it not holding on slipperier surfaces. On the other end using the bar on a sliding door was pretty good as well. The security bar itself can only extend to certain length (that just means its not infinitely telescoping - there are specific indents that lets you adjust only to a limited amount of fixed lengths). This was a bit annoying as it meant that to lock the sliding door, the security bar was just inbetween two possible lengths. This was annoying until I removed the doorknob brace (which is removable). Then the security bar fit perfectly well. Overall exactly as expected and worked well. Would definitely recommend for sliding doors. Less of a big recommend for traditional doors but I think its serviceable for both functions.
