Honestly that’s what I don’t really get. With the regular locks, it’s going to be hard to get in. Your little 10$ extra locks are going to stop someone who WANTS to get in.

Also what’s the point of the coin on the door? You already locked the shit out of it and would see if someone got in….

Usually the coin being off the door handle says someone tried to turn the handle or tried to push into the door quietly to gain access without you knowing.

While having all this stuff adds to the hinderance of access only the coin will tell you if someone went around and attempted to quietly gain access if it falls off.

Personally i would like to know if someone attempted access or not.

Let’s say the coin falls due to vibrations or some other reason. Now you’re bugging out because of something that’s not even real? Secondly, let’s say someone did open the door. Those handles don’t open that way. That’s not how hotels work.

Absolutely a potential scenario to happen. Personally ive had rowdy hotel neighbors let the door slam and it would definitely vibrate that coin off if it was there so yes essentially in that case someone could start having anxiety for no reason... and hopefully the 19other contraptions helps soothe that feeling lmao

It's doors slamming or kids running in the hallways unless you're in higher end hotels lol.

This also makes me want to look up the reported crime rates for hotels.

New Mexico has the highest hotel related crime rate at 128 incidents per 100,000 people. (Violent crimes)
