That doesn't have a keyhole... From the outside!
DH family are stopping by at ours after a gathering and very nosy. I wouldn't put it past them to 'accidentally' wander into a different room despite knowing where the toilet is!

Please share your wisdom MN!
I've had a Google but it all seems to be things like bars across the door. I was really hoping for a lock thing of some sort

Well done your dh! Now you need a discreet camera so you can see their faces when they realise 😁

Haha thanks

I'm glad it's sorted.

I was going to suggest buying some CRIME SCENE tape and taping it in a criss-cross fashion across the door. Also, coat handle with Vaseline or similar clear substance.

Add a "DO NOT ENTER Authorized Persons Only" sign. Because they're so nosey, when they "demand" an explanation make up a wild tale, or simply say it's top secret and being monitored 24/7 and even you aren't allowed to open the door. Then ask if they need a hand towel or to wash up (their gooey hands if they weren't able to resist).

Unscrew door handle on outside. Remove square bar inside that turns the catch. Screw door handle back on.
Hide square bar in a safe place and don’t forget where it is. 😘
