opposing angled sides extending from the angled top surface to the bottom surface; and
a projection member secured to the bottom surface, the projection member comprising a plurality of spikes defined therein and extending from a first side of the projection member in a direction away from the bottom surface;
wherein:
the projection member is secured to a first side of an engagement panel with at least one fastener;
a second side of the engagement panel and the bottom surface of the door lock respectively comprise corresponding fastening apparatus for temporarily securing the engagement panel to the bottom surface of the door;
the engagement panel is secured to the bottom surface of the door lock such that the spikes extend away from the bottom surface of the door lock; and
the corresponding fastening apparatus together form a hook-and-loop type fastener.
9. The door lock of claim 8 , wherein the projection member is secured to the bottom surface at an end opposite the wedge portion.
10. A door lock, comprising:
a bottom surface;
a wedge portion extending upward from the bottom surface at a first end thereof, the wedge portion comprising:
an angled top surface;
opposing angled sides extending from the angled top surface to the bottom surface; and
a substantially vertical back wall;
a horizontal member extending perpendicularly from the back wall;
a handle extending upwardly from the horizontal member at an end thereof; and
a projection member secured to the bottom surface, the projection member comprising a plurality of spikes defined therein and extending from a first side of the projection member in a direction away from the bottom surface;
wherein:
the projection member is secured to a first side of an engagement panel with at least one fastener;
a second side of the engagement panel and the bottom surface of the door lock respectively comprise corresponding fastening apparatus for temporarily securing the engagement panel to the bottom surface of the door;
the engagement panel is secured to the bottom surface of the door lock such that the spikes extend away from the bottom surface of the door lock; and
