Digital camera reviews of Mace 80115 MACE Big Jammer Door Brace
Digital camera Review: A frugal solution to security for the front entry door and for hotel doors from Amazon.Com when traveling
Summary: 5 Stars
The Mace 80115 Big Jammer Door Brace solves a common problem with outside doors and hotel doors. It is absolutely immovable because it cannot be dislodged by force. It essentially jams the door and more force makes it hold more tenaciousy. It's better than the old fashion barring of a door and it is great for doors with glass in them and other vulnerabilities. I bought one because it occurred to me that they are very difficult to kick in and resistive to force with with counter-force while static.Digital camera Review: Awesome choice
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these about 20 years ago at the recommendation of a friend. I was living alone in an apartment and neighbors were having some "issues" with unauthorized access by maintenance guys. I caught someone trying to open my door shortly after that. I heard a little bit of noise and jumped up to see the door just barely open and then shut. Whoever it was was trying to be quiet entering, didn't succeed and left. I have carried this with me when I have stayed in hotels. Now I'm ordering more because I am living in a house. Eventually, you will loosen the door knob but periodically just tighten it back up again. And get some big guy to stand on the other side of the door and try to get in. They won't. Promise. Sleep well, my friend.Digital camera Review: Best Constructed Door Jam Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend bought this door jam for me after an attempted break in at our home through the patio sliding glass door while my husband was TDY. We took the rubber door knob piece off and put in a rubber stopper that we found at the hardware store. Then he placed it in the middle of the patio door to secure the door closed because the robber had broke the handle and lock trying to get in. The robber ran away when our alarm went off but the patio door was ruined. This door jam is ALL METAL, my friend found the correct hole for the width of the door, and once it was tightly in place it didn't move. I felt much safer in our home alone with this door jam in place until the patio door could be replaced. Three years later, present time, I gave this same door jam to my friend because her husband is going TDY. Just before the holidays someone tried to break in through the back door. Their alarm went off and four police cars were sent to her home. The police went around back to check the door and saw the foor imprint where the robber was kicking the door but couldn't get in. The police couldn't get in either and after five minutes thought that they had a suspect barricaded inside the house. The police (with guns out) had to open the garage door and go in through the kitchen door to check the house. When they came back outside the first thing they said was how IMPRESSED they were with her door jam and how it was still holding her back door tightly shut even though the robber had kicked it hard enough to activate the alarm and of course break the door frame. My husband put three board across the door and put the door jam back on the door knob to secure the door so that her alarm could be turned on and until the door could be replaced. This is absolutely that best door jam EVER! And that is why I bought two more. But the store had switched to a different one that had a metal rod but a plastic piece for the door knob. I thought if someone kicks the door that plastic is going to break and the rod will just fall over and the robber will get inside. So I had to go online to find the one that I had, the MACE Big Jammer Door Brace, and that is the perfect name for it. I highly recommend this door jam for its quality construction of all metal and two large rubber ends, nothing on this product will ever break.Digital camera Review: Big Jammer Door Brace...
Summary: 5 Stars
saves the day. It makes my family sleep easier and more secure at night. We're in a two unit apartment building and there is an entry door and hall before our units. The last person in at night places the brace under the knob, so we all know we've eliminated the threat of someone coming in though the front door.
If someone were to try to force the door, (I don't think theres a chance of them getting through the jammer) the worst thing that would happen is that the knob would tighten, making it difficult to turn. We solved this problem after a trial run and found that if you unscrew the knob and reassemble it in the door, it works fine. We think it's due to the stress of the knob against the door. I still can't see any part of the door failing either.
Good Luck!!
