A portable door locking device. In one embodiment, a door lock may include a base plate configured with a locking wedge and a driver wedge. The base plate may be formed in a U-shaped fashion, thus defining a cut-out region sized to receive the locking and driver wedges. Typically, the locking wedge is pivotally attached to the base plate, permitting rotational movement of the locking wedge about a pivoting axis. In some implementations, the locking wedge comprises a sloped bottom surface that slideably cooperates with a sloped top surface of the driving wedge. In use, the driver wedge may be driven in linear fashion underneath the locking wedge, causing the locking wedge to engage an adjacent door. With the door lock deployed in this manner, the door cannot be readily opened from the outside.
