How to Make a Bedroom Lock

Bedrooms are private areas that you may feel the need to lock, especially depending on your living situation. While you can make an effective lock for when you're in your bedroom out of simple pieces of hardware, it may be just as easy to purchase an interior doorknob that has a built-in lock. You can find these almost anywhere from bargain stores to hardware stores for around $5.00 at the time of publication.
