One can never be complacent about home security these days. Just when you think your home is 100 percent safe, a burglary catches you off-guard.
That’s why it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you can install an additional door lock for added security, do it.
Extra security does not always require a hefty investment. Sometimes, all you need is a little creativity and effort.
Consider a fork door lock. It’s inexpensive, easy to install, and it works! However, you’ll have to choose your fork wisely to ensure its durability. The prongs should be between 1 ¾”-2” in length for it to work properly.
You won’t need a lot for this. Check out the list below.
Materials:
- Fork
- Marker
Tools:
- Vise
- Hammer
- Hand saw
