Lock Can
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
What type of lock can I put on a bedroom or closet door in a roommate situation, without much damage?
Is there something I can use which does not require a lot of hole drilling? I really don’t need the lock for optimum security, just enough to keep nosey roommates at bay. They wouldn’t go so far as to bypass a lock. Most likely I’ll just use it for the closet doors where I’ll keep personal papers etc. The lock will be for folding closet doors that open out, or a regular closet door that you pushes close with a turn knob. Thanks.
If it’s a turn knob closet i would suggest just replacing the knob. You can buy a door handle with key at home depot/lowes for less than $10 (since we’re not talking high security) and just replace the old handle yourself. No drilling holes here because you can always put the old handle back when you leave.

(lock in link is actually $13, but in store there are always sales)
For folding doors, I’d suggest a simple latch like you see on a gate, with a pad lock. You’d have to drill small holes to install, but nothing that can’t be filled and painted over.
