Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zelco Lock Up Door Lock
Customer Review: If you want REAL SAFETY, do NOT buy it
Summary: 1 Stars
First time when I saw this one, I thought It can provide me some kind of safety. Well, as everybody know and easy to notice that it looks very week. And I thought, if would work out. Can't be so week I imagine.
But one day, one idiot who think my room is some kind of entertainment room, broke in to the door. LIterally, rush in to the door and smash the lock. Are you really joking? This lock didn't even stand one time! NOT EVEN ONE TIME! (I was in the room) I do agree unless I was trying to run away from a serious killer I shouldn't be so disappointed because it is week. But still, are you really kidding me?
Anyway, I just notice that he the one who has worst manner that I ever seen before knock on the door so violently which is rush in to the door and totally bend the lock. I wouldn't dare say it is the lack of strength of the lock. But still, it didn't even stand one time! ONE TIME!
By the way, I fixed it with one touch with my hammer because the steal part was very easy to bend as he did. Let me guess, is it really he rushed in to the door? or just lock is too week? Hmm... Both, but still.
If you are trying to buy this to get some kind of safety, don't do it. ALL CRIMINAL who really try to take you and if the door is not locked but can't open like this, they will rush in to the door like a mad cow. For you confidence, might work out. But for safety, better to block the door with your bed instead of this.
Customer Review: Just too flimsy to rely on
Summary: 2 Stars
We travel in third world countries and ordered this to provide a little more security while we're sleeping. The materials used in this lock are just too flimsy to inspire much confidence. The main body is plastic. The metal bar which fits into the door jamb is thin and flexible so easily bends out of the way when pressure is put on the door. The serrations on the bar are not deep, so don't promise much strength. While none of these locks can be expected to withstand someone trying to kick the door in, this one, while prettily-designed is overly expensive and unimpressive. We're going to try a few others.
By the way, in returning this item, which we consider unsatisfactory, Amazon will charge us doubly: the cost to return the item to Amazon and also charge us for what we originally saved with our "Super Saver" shipping. The end result is far from the full refund other merchants offer.
Customer Review: better than nothing, at least until it breaks
Summary: 2 Stars
I took this to SE Asia for a six-month trip. It's not easy to figure out how it works, which is unfortunate. But once it's in place it provides some comfort for those hotels where locks either don't exist or aren't trustworthy. After using it a handful of times, I couldn't get the red locking handle to close. I wiggled the metal bar and the red handle, trying not to apply much force. But I heard a crack from inside, and that was the end of that. Not recommended if you can find anything else.Customer Review: I should have read the reviews before ordering
Summary: 1 Stars
It took longer to unpack the lock from the box it came in than it did to have the lock break. (Less than 3 minutes.) This is worse than junk (junk doesn't cost twenty-dollars). I can't believe the beating I took on this item. I still think the idea is great. But "plastic" for a door lock? So much for twenty-dollars.Customer Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Save your money, this is a cheaply made product. It broke after 3 uses!!! I took it apart and the inside is made of cheap junk that simply can not survive even the smallest of jarring from the door. The concept is excellent, but the implementation if garbage!
