Portable Deadbolt Door Lock for Travel or Home Use
A deadbolt is a smart way to add extra security to your door. Deadbolts are very hard to force, and nobody is going to just kick in the door with one barring the way. Not every hotel room has one, however, so you might want to consider something like this portable “Smart Lock” security door bolt if you travel a lot. It attaches in less than a minute and doesn’t require tools or leave any permanent marks.
This could also be a good choice for a dorm room or apartment where you aren’t allowed to drill holes and start making permanent changes to the premises. It would even work fine in your own home, if you’re not the handy type or just don’t fancy the idea of getting out a bunch of tools and messing with a DIY installation.
The portable system runs $6.50-$18.50 at Amazon: Smart Lock Security Door Bolt

This is a pretty good product but the disadvantage is that it will not prevent the door and door frame from being pryed or spread apart. Lock Jaw Security is also portable - can be installed with double-stick tape. Lock Jaw is a little bit larger but appears much stronger and seems to have more substance, which is what I am looking for in terms of safety and security.
