Seeing the picture of that lock reminded me how uniform were the door locks and light switches in the US. In Europe there are countless different types of door locks and light switches but basically everywhere I went to in the US it was the same door locks and light switches. I take it if you travel internationally a doorstop would work everywhere.

There are variances in like, knob vs lever handle, but yea they mostly work the same and are in the same spot. IMHO a smart thing if there's an emergency and you're staying someplace unfamiliar...
