An improved lock for the inside of automobile cab doors having paddle-type door handles, particularly long-haul tractor cabs. The device is an L-shaped stop that is removably attached to the door handle from the inside. The short leg of the "L" fits between the paddle and the housing, thereby preventing the paddle from pivoting open. The stop is fitted with a keyed cylinder lock and a rotating dog, to secure it to the door handle. The stop substantially fills and fits snugly within the recessed cavity of the door handle, thus preventing thieves from inserting tools into gaps and prying the device loose. The device is also substantially flush with the door handle, or at least has no edge upon which to gain purchase, so there is no surface for thieves to strike and break the device off.
