Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 265DCCSEN Dual-Function Security Bar

Customer Review: Conversation Piece
Summary: 5 Stars

I keep this next to the front door of my apartment. Everyone who enters my apartment always asks about it. They immediately test it themselves, then they end up wanting one also. It's sturdy, easy to use, and it can even be used as a weapon! I feel safer with this product in my apartment.

Customer Review: Decent Cheap Door Security
Summary: 4 Stars

With all the hype about bump keys (which basically renders most locks useless), I tried to think of something that can counter it. So far, this is the only thing that I can find short of buying a top of the line lock for a $80 - $200.

[Pro]

It's moderately effective with a low price.

It's lightweight and portable. You can bring it on trips.

It's versatile (it's adjustable and can be used on any door that swings inward and sliding doors)

This will slow down potential intruders, potentially either buying you precious extra time or alerting you.

You can use it as a makeshift bat if needed.

It has better quality than similar competitors.

[Cons]

It only slows down a potential intruder. It won't stop them. This device is common enough for them to think of ways of countering it.

The top piece that hooks into the door knob is made of cheap plastic. It will eventually break. Check it often.

Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this lock-bar for an old back patio door in my rental. It does the job, but the door is old, so even with the bar in place, the top of the door can be pulled back off the track. I would suggest getting this lock and one that you mount higher up if you are working with an older door.

Customer Review: Does the job!
Summary: 5 Stars

This security bar does the job. I had my large teenage son try with all he had to force the door with the bar in place on hardwood floors and carpet. This is no sissy bar.
