Step 1: Gather the materials. You will need a metal fork that you don't plan to use anymore and a pair of strong pliers.
Step 2: Bend your fork. Because every door is different you will need to size up the prongs for your own door. You want to leave enough of the fork sticking out to allow yourself to stick in the handle when it comes time to lock. If the prongs are too long, bend them backwards so they sit in the hole.
Step 3: Break off the handle. Seal off the handle so you can make the lock.
Step 4: Insert into lock and secure. Once it's built, insert the fork into the door. Then close the door and insert the handle into the fork. If needed, use the rubber band to stop the handle from falling out. Congratulations you have secured a door with a fork.
