Every Frequent Traveler Needs to Know This Hotel Door Trick – The Real Purpose of That Mysterious Door Latch Cushion

The Real Purpose: Prevent Accidental Lockouts
The Problem:

The Problem:

Hotel doors auto-lock when closed — even if you just step out to grab ice, check the Wi-Fi, or take out the trash. One breeze, one click… and suddenly you’re locked out in pajamas, wallet-less, waiting 20 minutes for housekeeping.Hotel safety productsDoor latch cushion

The Solution:

The door latch cushion acts as a doorstop — place it snugly between the door and frame so the latch can’t engage. That way, you can close the door behind you without locking yourself out.

Think of it as a “pocket-sized peace of mind.”

How to Use It Correctly (Step-by-Step)

Remove the cushion from the door handle (yes, it’s meant to be used!)

Open your hotel room door

Place the padded block firmly into the gap between the door and frame, right where the latch meets the strike plate.

Close the door gently — the cushion will hold the door open just enough to prevent the lock from clicking shut.Portable door lock
