Andy returns with baling twine and practicality.
Since you're solo, how do you deal with doors that have no deadbolts or latches when you put down for the night? I'm wondering if there is other security measures besides objects balanced against the door, and door stoppers, to keep myself and belongings from disappearing?
I have employed an electronic 90dB alarm that I picked up at a "ha-ku yen" (100yen =1.12USD) store in Japan. I have been surprised, and woke up the guesthouse when a worker tried to "clean up" at 2 or 3 a.m. in Indonesia.
You mentioned this Solo door knob product before, and the inability to locate it. Any way you could manufacture more? With an added feature to accomodate both door handles and knobs, while still covering the door lock face? This seems like it could be a homerun product for lots of travellers, residents at home, dorms, the office worker, or anyone else who has to deal with thieves and Noisy Parkers with a key. Never seen one in Mexico, IN, or the country , nor the five continents I've been to. Seems like a great gadget.
Good to see the utilities of travel again.
I 'discovered' these door knob cup covers myself here in Bangkok in June, and couldn't believe I haven't been traveling from the start. Tried an Internet search to find some additional photo examples to show others w/o need of e-mailing photos, but just can't seem to find any. Amazing that I haven't seen them for sale elsewhere in the globe (or maybe just never noticed them). Invaluable.
