How Can I Secure My Guest Room Door from the Outside for a Surprise?
Asked by CraftyNinja92
I'm working on a surprise decoration for my girlfriend in the guest room, and I need to lock the door from the outside without any obvious changes. She doesn't usually go in there, but I want to ensure it's completely secure for about a week while I set everything up. Any clever ideas?

You could put a door jam on the inside and then sneak out the window when you need to. It’s a little unconventional but it works!

Honestly, just be upfront! Let her know you're working on a project that you'd like her to avoid seeing for a week. If you hang up a sheet just inside the door, it’ll keep the surprise intact if she accidentally opens it.
CuriousCat88: But wouldn't she wonder why you're not using tools? You could just swap the knob for one with a lock—it’s a quick fix and would give her a working lock for future guests!
