if you haven't got a lock on your door
and you want some privacy it can be
annoying get out today I'm gonna show
you five different simple ways to lock
your door without having to modify it
the old classic put a chair under the
door handle is even easier these days
just set the height of the back and roll
it straight under the door handle if
someone tries to enter they simply won't
be able to push the handle down if you
ever use a door stop to keep your door
open and stop it banging shut in the
wind you can also use it to lock a
closed door to just slide it under nice
and tight and you won't be able to open
the door from either side until the
wedge is removed and if you haven't got
a rubber doorstop you can make your own
out of cardboard just roll it up and
fold it into a wet shape like this
because there's less friction with
cardboard it will work better on carp
air though next I'm gonna show you how
you can use a fork to lock at all make
sure it's a fork you don't care about
because you will need to destroy it
start by using some pliers and bend over
about one centimeter of the prongs so it
looks like this then cut the handle off
the fork so you're left with two
separate pieces like this do be careful
if the metals sharp next to open the
door that you wanna lock take the head
of your fork and insert the prongs into
the striker plate like this so that it
hooks into the hole this will allow you
to still close and open the door but
what we can do next is take the fork
handle and slider through the prongs
which will lock the door shut
to protect the word you can slide a
couple of pieces of cardboard underneath
to stop the metal from digging into the
door and you can see we have now locked
the door you will not be able to push or
pull the door open until the four candle
is removed pretty cool huh
if you find a bathroom door hasn't got a
lock on check to see if there's a hook
higher up that all if there is you can
hang your belt over it and stretch it
over the door handle like this this
simple trick stops anyone being able to
push the handle down if your belts not
long enough you could use a strap or
some string which you can adjust and if
you're worried about it slipping off try
fitting it this way around instead I
