Answer 1

Is he allowed to have parties?  Tell your parents to ask a neighbor to keep an eye on the house for you and drop in to check on him.

Answer 2

Well if theres a keyhole on the outside of the door then make a key with a coat hanger or something like that and lock it. But i guess if you dont have a lock maybe you can try barricade the door from the inside with a pole or furniture and go out of the window.

Answer 3

You can buy a "hasp" from the hardware store for less than $5.00, mount it on the outside of the door and lock it with a pad lock. Your room will be secure from all but the most ambitious thief.

Answer 4

lock it from the inside if you're on a first floor, people won't go to the trouble of climbing through your window to get in your room, but you can when you get back, just leave it unlocked

Answer 5

Can you not lock it and pull it closed?
