The “fork lock,” however, is easy to make, and is very useful when wanting to add a little extra security to a motel room, public restroom (which often have broken locks), or on any interior or exterior door.
All you need to assemble this DIY project is a dinner fork with two-inch prongs, a vice, and a saw. The handle of the fork should be able to fit in between the prongs of the fork. Essentially, you’re just bending the fork, and in a few minutes you have an amazingly simple door lock.
