I appreciate this info immensely. Someone tried to break into my house a few days ago and I'd sleep much better knowing this extra lock was in place. Buying a good fork for the project tomorrow!
I can confirm, this is a great method for anyone who is scared of their abusive parents! I just did it with a fork, broke a spoon just by bending it repeatedly for the handle, and a pair of pliers. Just make sure the screws for the handle aren't on the outside of the door, they might be able to remove the handle that way. You can use epoxy to make them irremovable if so. I also used a bit of ductape to make the handle thicker, so no one can jiggle it open. Nobody is getting in without an axe now, I can sleep soundly. Bonus points for having a wood plank to jam the door into the frame.
My mom just came in my room and yelled at me (then got mad when I yelled back as if she hadn't set the mood for the tone). She didn't even knock. Fun fact: My door used to have a lock until my parents switched out door handles. This is the last time that's happening.
@@mikesmith3873if they gave birth to you, then it’s their obligation to feed you, clothe you, house you, etc. You weren’t begging them to be born and there isn’t an inherent goodness about life. What’s the point of living life if you’re just miserable all the time; what’s the reason for living. You being alive is due to the benefit of the parent, because the parent wanted you, or you because you were an accident.
Thank you for sharing this. I unfortunately have a bedroom door that does not lock and a roommate that has no sense of boundaries. I have asked her to knock and even when she does, she doesn't wait for me to say come in, she just barges right in. It's terrible, even when I'm on the phone and I tell her, I'm on the phone, she continues to try to talk to me. The other day, I told her I'm on the phone so she backed out and then not even 2 minutes later, she came in again. It's like why do some people think that they're so important that whatever they have to say can't wait? Anyway, sorry, I'm just venting. Thank you again for sharing this.
I saw another video like this by an ex Navy Seal, he wrapped a belt around the pneumatic arm of the door whilst closed. He said sure it can be broke but as "Burning River" said......It buys you time, so sorry for anyone who feels they have to go to these lengths.I'm in Australia we don't really even lock doors.
Thankyou, my mum doesn't know anything about personal space and doesn't respect me, even ripping the blankets off me when I try to hide -__- Isnt your bed supposed to be your most personal space or something And keeps throwing my stuff in the bin thinking its 'trash' like no! I thought you already learnt your lesson when you 'accidentally' threw away my ART homework, but then she just goes and does it again and again and again and doesn't care And tries to 'tidy' my space even though I've explained to her many times and in lots of variations that it's not like tidying, it's like rearranging for me And now I have to go and put everything back, which actually does the opposite of helping me What a headache
I'm weaker than a newborn baby so I had to use the flat end of a meat tenderizer as a hammer to bend the prongs of the fork 😂 And I'm not sure if my fork is too small or I bent too much of it to stay in the latch, but I had to substitute the fork handle with a small black-point screwdriver I found lying around and it still works like a charm 👌 Canada is the last place I expected to have to do this in lol, thanks!
how can I get back in? my brother keeps using my bathroom after i told him multiple times not to, so i have to lock it while im not home but also need to get in after
Works best with a plastic fork, easily make it and it locks the door stronger. Thanos would'nt be able to get into my room, let alone all the avengers trying at the same damn time.
it worked but my mum got mad at me not because i locked the door but because it was making a dinging sound when touch against the metal (she thought i was breaking the door) -_-
too bad this doesn't work for doors that open outward, yet another reason why I want to sue the 1960s ghoul who belongs in Logan's Run that built our current residence
It's amazing how many youngsters lack common sense, and a general education. Most of them don't even know what to call the fork prongs. They have my pity. No wonder they're all on antidepressants..
Will be trying this on my bathroom door to keep drunken family from walking in while I’m bare cheeked. Wish me luck lads
bare cheeked lol good luck
good luck
I as well.
Did it work
Thank you so much my Dad can leave me alone now🙏🏾🙏🏾
Literally same
SAME
Samee my dad is crazy he literally took off the latch on my door because he didn't want me to lock it
Unless you pay rent you shouldn’t have a lock on a door. Plain and simple.

This worked really well for me! My parents aren't getting in with anything less than an axe now.
Good way to really get the shit knocked outa you. Start paying the mortgage and I’m sure they won’t walk in.
@@mikesmith3873don’t be a abusive parent who doesn’t value any privacy whatsoever

Thanks

My forks a little too strong. I can't get it to break lol
Same
Me too

Hey--use a saw with a metal blade for cutting metal.
Waykno thank you!
Thank you for this, I am not feeling safe and this has helped
i tried this and it worked, i no longer have a door tho
lol 😃
Thankyou, my mum doesn't know anything about personal space and doesn't respect me, even ripping the blankets off me when I try to hide -__-

I'm hammering my fork and it still won't break
😂
This is genius
thank you so much we really need this
Will use this for sure they unlock my door without even knocking and I be changing most of the time 😭
You can also prop a chair up under the door handle.
I thought this was from 2007
how can I get back in? my brother keeps using my bathroom after i told him multiple times not to, so i have to lock it while im not home but also need to get in after
Can I use this lock my door from outside I’m trying to keep a five-year-old from coming in my room messing with my things when I’m not around
It only works on swing in doors.
Nice little tip 👍
All the best
Roo
Also, if you're gonna try it be careful bending the fork to break the head off, I burned my finger doing it, don't touch the part you're bending
This oughta do the trick
Works best with a plastic fork, easily make it and it locks the door stronger. Thanos would'nt be able to get into my room, let alone all the avengers trying at the same damn time.
Oh, honey, no, a plastic fork will break immediately and won't stop anyone
How do you bend the tines?
Does It Work With Plastic Fork
No it does not
Yes ofc
No, i really don't see the logic in that.
No
Thanks I just need my privacy
it worked but my mum got mad at me not because i locked the door but because it was making a dinging sound when touch against the metal (she thought i was breaking the door) -_-
Now how do I sneak this past security at a hotel?
Are you sure it's an Hotel? If you're in prison, and would rather not say... It's OK. 😉
How did you bend the fork?
I used the door jam.
I need a secure from the outside the door
Nice tip.
It works just some people have a tight space so they can’t do it like they have a shelf next to it but still it’s good
door doesnt lock so im using this so that me and my gf can have privacy from my crazy dad lmao
Good tip
THIS IS NOTHING NEW. I HAVE USED THIS FOR YEARS. IT WORKS GOOD
we all know why we are here
too bad this doesn't work for doors that open outward, yet another reason why I want to sue the 1960s ghoul who belongs in Logan's Run that built our current residence
How the hell do I snap my fork Jesus Christ I'm sweating over here trynna do it 😩
Omg I did it and it works 😃 thank you 😊
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING TO ME BABAHAHAHJSJA
This trick with keep my uncle out.
I just ruined a fork. What did i do wrong?
Guys don't use steel cuz the tongs will probably break lmao
How to unlock the door?
Pull the handle out of the tines
@@BurningRiverBushcraft thankd
I got the fork to break but how do I been the little lines thingy so like the fork goes in my door?
Use the door jam for leverage
Now I can vape without them knowing
istg my forks are built off steel or sum bc i cannot fold it
Get better leverage. Wedge it in the door and pry with it.
How did u bend it?
I stuck it in the door jam and bent it by hand.
Burning River Bushcraft oh what i did i stole my step dads stool to bend the fork and its easier than i thought xD
Useful!
How did you bend the for part
Fork
I wedged it and pryed it over.
Burning River Bushcraft how can I do it without any special tools
JESS'ES WORLD he’s not using tools lmao
Thank you btw man this rlly helped, now my annoying brothers won’t walk in when I’m trying to have quiet time :)
Just hope there isn’t a fire or you’re dead. Looks like you also scuffed up the paint.
Damn I didn’t think about the fire 💀
all you do is pull it out then open the door lol
Yea...doesn't work, the fork bends back when you actually put hard pressure on it...I ruined my fork for nothing 😑
stronger fork, go!
can i use a plastic fork? i eould rather to jot use a real fork
No, a plastic fork won't work
@@BurningRiverBushcraft ok i just tryeddds the fork thing andd THANK YOU
Thanks! This helps alot!! now i can Bang my girlfriend without the risk of getting caught by my mom and dad, because my door lock is broken

Many forks don't bend that easily. Just buy an Addalock at addalock.com
Good tip
