The portable door lock includes a horizontal bar that lays across the door and/or the door frame and a strap with one or more holes. The user pulls on the strap, closes the door and inserts a rod through the one or more strap holes so that the rod lays across the door and the frame on the opposite side of the door as the horizontal bar. This action will prevent the door from being opened. A transverse bar may extend from the horizontal bar at approximately 90 degree angle so that the portable door lock is generally in the shape of a L.

1. A method of locking a door with a portable door lock comprising: a) providing a door frame comprising a front side, a rear side, a door frame thickness extending from the front side to the rear side, a left side, a right side, a width extending from the left side to the right side, a top side, a bottom side, a frame height extending from the top side to the bottom side, and a door opening located between the left side, right side, top side, and bottom side;b) providing a door comprising a door front side, a door rear side, a door thickness extending from the door front side to the door rear side, a door left side, a door right side, a door width extending from the door left side to the door right side, a door top, a door bottom, and a door height extending from the door top to the door bottom, the door configured to pivot along a pivot axis from a closed position in which the door covers the door opening and the door width is substantially parallel to the door frame width to an open position in which the door does not cover the door opening and in which the door width is not substantially parallel to the door frame width;c) providing a portable door closer comprising a horizontal bar, a transverse bar extending rearwardly from the horizontal bar at an angle of between about 80 and 100 degrees relative to the horizontal bar, a lip extending rearwardly from the horizontal bar and generally parallel to the transverse bar, and a pliable strap connected to the transverse bar, the pliable strap comprising at least one hole, a forward end, a rear end, a middle portion between the forward end and the rear end, and a strap length extending from the forward end to the rear end;d) resting the horizontal bar across a portion of the door frame front side so that the horizontal bar, in combination with the lip and transverse bar, wrap at least partially around three sides of a portion of the door frame while the door is in the open position;e) pulling the pulling strap rearwardly;f) after at least step d, moving the door to the closed position; andg) positioning a rod through the at least one hole so that the rod contacts the door rear side and the door frame rear side and prevents the door from moving to the open position,wherein after step f), i) the door front side is located rearwardly relative to the transverse bar, the horizontal bar, and the strap forward end, ii) a portion of the strap middle portion extends between the door and the frame, and iii) the strap rear end and the at least one hole are located to the rear of the door rear side. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the rod has a left end, a right end, and a length extending from the left end to the right end and step g) comprises positioning the rod through the at least one hole so that the rod length is substantially parallel to the door frame width and the door width. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the pliable strap comprises a plurality of holes spaced along the strap length and further wherein the plurality of holes have substantially the same diameter. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transverse bar comprises a transverse bar hole and further wherein the strap is looped through the transverse bar hole to connect the strap to the transverse bar. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the horizontal bar comprises a left side, a right side, a horizontal bar width extending from the left side to the right side, the horizontal bar width generally parallel to the door width when the door is in the closed position and further wherein the transverse bar extends from the horizontal bar left side and the lip extends from the horizontal bar right side. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the transverse bar has a front end extending from the horizontal bar, a rear end opposite the front end, a length extending from the front end to the rear end and further wherein the transverse bar length is between about 1 inches and about 5.5 inches. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the strap is attached to the transverse bar adjacent to the transverse bar rear end. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one hole comprises a hole diameter, wherein the at least one rod comprises a rod diameter, and further wherein the at least one hole diameter is substantially equal in size in to the rod diameter. 9. The method of claim 6 wherein the lip has a lip length generally parallel to the transverse bar length and further wherein the lip length is from about 0.2 inches to about 1 inch. 10. The method of claim 9 wherein the lip length is less than the transverse bar length. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein in step d), the horizontal bar does not contact the door front side.
