Disclosed is a Sleeve Stop Lock that is a portable, removable, non-damaging door lock that can be used to secure almost any inward swinging door from the outside. The apparatus consists of three components: a sleeve, a stop, and a lock. The “sleeve” component fits around the edge of a door. It is installed while a door is open. With the door closed, the “stop” makes contact with the door frame once attached to the sleeve thus preventing the door from swinging inward. The “lock” mechanism then securely binds all of the components together. The combination of these three elements (sleeve, stop and lock) prevent potential intruders (including housekeeping) from entering and invading the privacy of an unoccupied room.
