"Why We Like it: This lock takes up less room in your bag than about two pens and is incredibly easy to add to your door. It's brass-plated and has some serious heft to it, making it an especially good deterrent to potential thieves. The simple "squeeze and slide" installation process took us under a minute to install on a door, and the lock is equally easy to take off when you're ready to leave."
