When done right, this hack can stop people getting into your room even if they have a key.<\/p>\n<p>The towel method is somewhat similar to the hanger trick. Doing it correctly means vigorously nestling your hotel towel between the door and its frame.<\/p>\n<p>You should ensure the towel is on the bottom of the door, meaning when done effectively, it will make it harder for an intruder to get the door ajar.<\/p>\n<p>However, alternatives are available if the iron board hack, as well as the hanger and towel techniques are still leaving you feel vulnerable and paranoid.<\/p>\n<p>You can use a door wedge to stop the door from opening from the inside or better yet you can buy a portable door lock.<\/p>\n<p>A portable lock can easily be purchased from online marketplaces such as Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Often portable locks will have a metal plate which the existing door lock can fit into. Then an additional metal plate site on the back of the door.<\/p>\n<p>This means someone would have to manually tear down your door in order to get intrude on your hotel stay.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as last year it was revealed that &#8216;violence against another person&#8217;
