Imagine yourself on a business visit in a city you have never been to. You are staying at a local hotel, nothing spectacular but not the nastiest you have ever seen, either. It is hygienic, adequate, but a little older, so it does not have grand security or locks, which does not make you feel too protected.



You are prepared to go to bed and feeling a little uneasy, but you put together a ensnare to foil any intruder. Your luggage and the desk chair get lodged by the hotel room entry so they will at least slow down any burglar, and you take a wooden hanger from the cabinet and jam it into the window track to use it as a rod so that the window (hopefully) can not be opened. You try to get some forty winks before your big meeting in the morning, but you are up and down all night, with every noise, checking the door and window.

Let us look at this situation again but add in a personal alarm. The 130db personal alarm can be used on every door. It has a unique clip that has double contacts on it. While the contacts are touching, there is no noise. The instant that the contacts are moved apart - such as when someone tries to open the door - the alarm will sound piercingly sufficient to wake up anyone in the area. An alarm this loud will also do another thing: since most trespassers do not want to call attention to themselves, the alarm will usually make the intruder flee.

In addition to keeping you safe in your hotel room, the personal alarm is small enough (like a pager) to carry with you and use if you are in an unsafe situation. You can set the alarm in such a way that all you need do is yank the pin on it when you need help.

This may be one of the most important self-defense tools you ever by. It is reliable, effective and affordable. It is also much more lightweight than your suitcase and a hotel chair to keep you safe. Do not leave your safety to chance.
