I'm not going to be scared off going to Negril but do agree the doors at some of the places we've stayed may not be the most secure. Won't mind investing in something that will offer some protection will in our room. Have you tried a device you'd like to recommend? Looked online and most have mixed reviews.
Saw that one and it looks great. Was hoping for something a little more portable as sometimes we travel only with carry-ons. This board really got me thinking. We do a bit of traveling both inside and out of the US. A little extra security is a great idea. Have NEVER had a problem in Negril which we visit twice a year.
It folds up.
We have used something similar to this...It is inexpensive, and VERY loud.

i would rather have a device in which you can't open the door, period, versus a device that makes a noise.
Yea, me too Gerry...but these are inexpensive, easy to use and carry, and kind of scary when they activate.Originally Posted by gerryg123
I'm sort of running on the assumption that anyone who might want to sneak into my room in the middle of the night probably wants to do it without waking me or anyone else up...at about 120 decibels these things are enough to wake the dead (or heavily rum impaired)
Still don't like the fact that I even have to think about packing a security device in the first place...we should all be able to relax and enjoy our time on vacation, right?
Gerry where did you find that particular jamb?
I always travel with Add-a-lock

Like Yvonne mentioned, a simple rubber door stop would help, as the more you push on the door, the more secure it becomes.
