Bump Proof Deadbolt Door Locker, Clear

Bottom line: It really does work (in spite of things that frustrated me).Oh how I wanted to give this product 1 Star to get the owner's attention. But it truly deserves 5 Stars because it really does work, and because it is original and quite clever in its invention. Bravo to the inventor for thinking this up.The Negative First: To the owner of this product, what were you thinking when it comes to the following:The instructions! I give the instructions 1 Star! The print is way too small. I needed magnifying reading glasses to see the print...and the sheet of paper is way too small, with the text having to be crammed in. What makes matters worse, the owner is selling a product where if one puts it onto the deadbolt the wrong way, which is way too easy to do, it won't work correctly, and people will think they were sold a defective product!Knowing that this item must be placed on the correct side, why wouldn't THIS INFO be placed first in big letters on a big sheet of paper? Or, why did they not mark the product itself with arrows or colored pieces or something that clearly indicates which way it goes on, without the user having to do any thinking at all? It would have been so easy for the inventor to do this. (And think about it: This is an original design no one has ever had any experience with whatsoever. They must make this as easy and as idiot-proof as possible. Heck, those cheap HVAC intake filters have arrows on all sides letting people know which way the airflow goes so they won't put in in with the wrong side facing out.)The Good: Like I said, this product really does work. Sadly, there might be some confusion regarding how it installs. The circular piece does not go around the circular edge of the round deadbolt plate, flush against it. (I first thought it did.)On the inside of the round part of the Lock Locker is what some are calling a lip. It is an edge, if you will. This lip hangs onto the inside of the top part of the deadbolt turn knob, by just a little bit. It feels loose, but you will see that you cannot pull it exactly straight off towards you. (This will give you confidence it cannot be bumped off.)Once in place correctly, no matter how loose the Lock Locker feels, the deadbolt cannot be turned, either with a key on the outside or with your fingers on the deadbolt turn knob on the inside.You will easily be able to test it and be confident this product does work, again assuming you have put it on correctly. (It is easy to put on correctly once you figure out which side has the lip. It is just really sad and unnecessary that one has to go through the figuring out which side faces the door when the owner could have easily marked it better...with something. Anything!)This Lock Locker, which of course is used to make you safer while you are home, is perfect for someone who has others who have a spare key, or to protect from someone using a Bump Key or lock pick to break in. The Lock Locker can be removed so easily in a second by you at any time.I like that this does not need to be screwed behind the deadbolt plate like that other alternative.I hope this product is a huge success for the owner, as it should be, since it is so original and it works. I also hope perhaps the owner will consider making modifications to the instructions and the device itself so it is much easier to immediately know which side goes towards the deadbolt! Thank you.

On Friday the 13th, at 8:12 AM, I had an attempted home invasion/burglary. I am sure the thief was expecting an empty home. He opened my entry door and not hearing an alarm, went to stash his bike from view on a busy street.Although my alarm system was not armed, it announced that a monitored door was opened. My system is in a back hallway and I could hear when "Front Door" was announced. (Someone outside probably could not hear the alarm voice, maybe just the two beeps that also sound.) I went to check; I have a small open house so I could see that no one was in view inside or outside my opened front door. Totally perplexed, husband out of town and teen gone to school an hour before, I was just standing and staring at the open door when the would-be thief comes into view, attempting to stash his bike out of sight, head down. My advancing at him and yelling at full volume made the coward turn and run away, scrambling to get on his bike.Okay In hindsight. I should have just closed the door when the thief had his head down, got my camera, opened the speakeasy and taken a picture of his perplexed face for the police files. Charging out, doing my best white-haired crazy lady routine, probably wasn't the best idea.I am fairly sure I had my deadbolt engaged; I am a bit OCD about making sure the deadbolt is turned at night. Three of my four part locking-up routine were still in place. 1. Sliding door locked. 2. Exterior entry light on. 3. Interior light off. 4. Throw deadbolt on entry door. But rarely, the entry doesn't get locked. Insert husband's name here. So I am assuming the deadbolt was "bumped." I didn't even know about this practice until the police told me and more I did internet research, the more disturbed I became.An internet search led me to this product. I have a new Emtek deadbolt on a plate, so a Flip Guard or a Lock Jaw would not work. This product works perfectly. Reviewer E Hall, mentioned using neodymium magnets since my interior thumb-turn lever is mounted on a brass plate. The Lock Locker would work on the brass fixture without the extra magnet but it seems securer with it. The Lock Locker is clear, so not too obnoxious on black/bronze hardware. It was important that I didn't need to permanently attach or drill into my nice new Jeld-Wen door. While the Lock Locker was in place, we thumped that door, Lock Locker stayed firmly in place. We tried turning our key almost to the point of damaging the key,Since 99% of the time we leave through a backdoor, the Lock Locker will now be engaged while we are away and at night. An effective visual reminder that NO ONE can use a key to enter. Add Step 5, rotate Lock Locker and feel it snap into place.I really don't want to feel that rush of adrenaline again.EDIT: Just to clarify, I purchased these magnets: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UCVARK?refRID=NGTBKG20HCJHQ4E1YW9W&ref_=pd_ybh_a_2 . I only needed one magnet to literally pull the Lock Locker from my fingers and stick on a BRASS plate. Without this magnet, product may not stick very well. See photo.
