It s the perfect method to quickly modify a door and make it more difficult for intruders to come in.
How to lock your door with a fork and knife.
Now the fork lock shown does show the fork cut but you can accomplish the same thing using a butter knife rather than the end of the fork and not damage the flatware.
To open a door with a knife find a small butter or putty knife to avoid accidentally cutting yourself.
Start by inserting the knife as far as it goes into the bottom half of your keyhole.
You ll need a vice a hammer and a metal saw but the whole process only takes a few minutes.
The fork will be used as the lock itself although this diy project does require you to get your hands dirty at least for a little bit.
As almost any location where you might be sleeping you most likely will find silverware available so you don t even have to carry anything extra with you.
Keep in mind this trick only works with a button lock or spring loaded latch system.
