Cheap household item that will keep you safe in a hotel room
<p>It’s easy to spend a king’s ransom on travel gadgets nowadays but, as is often the case, sometimes the simplest of items can do the same job just as effectively.</p>
<p>Seasoned travellers speaking on the forum <a href="https://www.quora.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Quora</strong> </em></span></a>have touted the humble doorstop as the most effective way of deterring would-be thieves and criminals.</p>
<p>This simple rubber wedge can be used in virtually every hotel room and is an effective way of ensuring unwanted intruders are unable to break and enter.</p>
<p>Frequent traveller David Klain says, “When staying in a hotel, you can put that door stop under the door preventing someone from breaking in, (because) the chain on the door will stop no one.</p>
<p>“In the case of a terrorist attack or lone gunman incident, typically they will go through all rooms.</p>
<p>“But, if they can’t get the door open (they will) move on to other rooms before working their way back to the doors that wouldn’t open.</p>
<p>“This buys you time for you to get away and police to respond.”</p>
<p>Could you imagine bringing a doorstop on holidays?</p>
