Bedroom door lock

[tinkerbell23]

What is the easiest lock or whatever to use on a bedroom door....

That i could possibly install myself (im not so bad lol)....

Not sure i can manage a lock that works inside and out though? Surley theres something easy?

If it was just inside..id mabye get a hook and eye kind of one?? X

[nannybooby]

[tinkerbell23]

Out!! Haha.....

A simple bolt would do if you just want to keep people out when you are in.

What sort of tools do you have available and what skills do you have?

[nannybooby]

If you are out then a bolt and padlock on the out side.

[nannybooby]

of course you always run the risk of being bolted in by some smart alick

A chair wedged under the door knob is effective.

If it was on the outside of the door it would need to look okish....mother wouldnt approve lol.....

Inside i think ill buy a hook type one....more for the outside..

Is it hard to change the handle from a non locking to a lockable one!!?

Normal tool box available nothing out of the ordinarly and seriously basic skills....not much but i can use a screwdriver etc lol xx

Seriously though best bet is to get a proper lock fitted by a carpenter.

[nannybooby]

Yes a lot of work to change handle to locking tyoe , you need to be able to chisle out the door and architrave. Best done by expert. Sorry.

[ummmm]

I agree with Nanny. A carpenter would have a yale lock on your door in 20 minutes.

Is this in your parents house?

I'd go ballistic if someone put a lock on the door preventing me getting into a room in my house.

Sure your 'rents are ok with this Tinks?

[tinkerbell23]

Not really caring BOO tbh, im 25 i dont see what they would need in my room for, i certainly do not want them there and nothing in here belongs to them...

Just feel like i really need my own space for now till such times as i can move out for good!!

Lol @ weed x
