Customer Review: Great security; poor instructions
Summary: 5 Stars
The item itself is outstanding. Very heavy construction, many adjustments possible, very reasonable price. The top and bottom are made of a soft rubber, which means that the top will fit a variety of door handles and the bottom provides for a great deal of friction. My complaints are only with the instructions, which leave out two important pieces on information. 1) The holes that allow for adjustments are not aligned just vertically, but also in rows. This means that for a given door, you may not only have to push and pull, but also twist to get the right length. Doing so puts the rubber top and bottom foot out of alignment. It took me maybe 30 seconds to realize that I could also twist them and get it to work. Maybe that is obvious, but at a time when even sleeping pills come with the warning "May cause drowsiness," the instructions should point that out. 2) The instructions do not mention a pin with a ring through it that comes with the package. I assume you put it through opposing holes once you have the right length, but is this necessary? Is it for added strength or basic security? If you lose it, can you still use the bar? I would like to know. Still, I checked all the security bars on Amazon, and I think that considering quality and price, this one is the best.Customer Review: Big Jammer Door Brace...

saves the day. It makes my family sleep easier and more secure at night. We're in a two unit apartment building and there is an entry door and hall before our units. The last person in at night places the brace under the knob, so we all know we've eliminated the threat of someone coming in though the front door.
If someone were to try to force the door, (I don't think theres a chance of them getting through the jammer) the worst thing that would happen is that the knob would tighten, making it difficult to turn. We solved this problem after a trial run and found that if you unscrew the knob and reassemble it in the door, it works fine. We think it's due to the stress of the knob against the door. I still can't see any part of the door failing either.
Good Luck!!

I bought one of these about 20 years ago at the recommendation of a friend. I was living alone in an apartment and neighbors were having some "issues" with unauthorized access by maintenance guys. I caught someone trying to open my door shortly after that. I heard a little bit of noise and jumped up to see the door just barely open and then shut. Whoever it was was trying to be quiet entering, didn't succeed and left. I have carried this with me when I have stayed in hotels. Now I'm ordering more because I am living in a house. Eventually, you will loosen the door knob but periodically just tighten it back up again. And get some big guy to stand on the other side of the door and try to get in. They won't. Promise. Sleep well, my friend.Customer Review: Huge bang for the buck

I got this for $12 (free shipping). I needed 3, but weren't so sure of the quality since the price is so low. So, I ordered 1 first. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality for any price. I've read reviews for some other similar products, and some complained the spring loaded pins would pop in allowing the jammer to collapse, which then allow the door to open. With this one, however, they gave me a fixed pin (lock pin) so I'll know this won't ever happen with this jammer. So, I highly recommend this product for anyone. Even if you think your house is in the best neighborhood, buying this and giving my wife a peace of mind is priceless.Customer Review: A Security Must

I purchased the Jammer Door Brace to secure a door connecting two college dorm rooms. The two rooms share a bathroom but their are no locks on either connecting door. I have several expensive items in my room and I wanted to make sure they were completely secure when I was out. I have a linoleum floor and the Jammer catches on it very well. After testing the product extensively it was clear that the only way into my room was by breaking the door off the hinges. I feel as though my possessions are very safe and I would recommend this product to anyone.
