"Trying to do stuff"... we don't want to know thanks.

You don't need a lock, just be more alpha!

Thats one sweet ass door!!! hhhmm hhmm

Only under the covers.

Failing that... Chair under the handle? Works in movies.

looks like a simple bolt in the top would be the easiest and best option
you don't really have many options with that one - being the way it is against the wall

chair with gas-lift is best.

put it under the handle, and lift the lever for ultimate doot jamming action.

I do it all the time when I am organising my pokemon cards in secret :cool:

Is that what they're calling it these days?

Best thing to do is just buy 5 door stops and wedge them under the door from the inside.

Thanks for all the replys of people thinking i am .... :O I am shocked you think this and this isnt the case.

Thank you, R B Customs - for; looks like a simple bolt in the top would be the easiest and best option

Yeah, it's in a funny place really so just a bolt that goes up or down from the top.

Ahh..well maybe you should do that. Its cheaper than a lock, and I guarantee that once someone walks in and sees you on display they wont be walking in again

Either that or stick the door closed.

I'll look at some locks in wickes.

Post a few more pics, I'm still not sure what your doorway looks like.

Puzzled · 29 Mar 2009 at 23:48

Hey I've had a crazy idea, if you know sod all about DIY why not ask a shop assistant in a DIY store!!

Nah thats just me being silly, makes much more sense to post a picture of your door online.

Use reverse psycology and just leave the door wide open. People only want to nosey in when a door is shut.

This. Don't be ashamed of "MarkW7's special alone time". The lock on the door will hurt more psychologically in the long run than potential embarrassment in the short term !
