You could replace the existing lock with something like this here. Even internal doors are reinforced where the lock is normally fitted.

there is no existing lock, have never had a need before, think the door is hollow in the middle, cheap council doors

But you said " i am wanting to be able to lock my bedroom door when i am not in their"

So the lock would be ample for that. Even of you were in the room, just keep the padlock in the room with you. He would then have to get a padlock or a lump of wood to wedge in the lock to stop you from getting out

Its just a easy lock to have fitted very little carpenter skills and getting one costs a lot of money

EDIT actually I think you could put the padlock in thehasp and lock it when its a jar to stop when one from locking you in

What ariba 10 suggests would work quite well. It is very easy to fit. The splined key has to be rotated several times to extend the bolt. The area of the door where the existing latch is situated is where the lock block is, and the security bolt should be placed in this area. However, I suggest that you have a look at the top of the door and see how thick the edge timber is. If it is of reasonable size you could probably fit the security bolt more or less where you want it.
Most internal door are cheaply constructed. There is rarely any need for them to be more substantial. They are all hollow I would think, and if they were not they would cost a fortune.
Non of these internal doors would withstand a serious attack. If you used the hasp and staple method, it could be ripped off of the door quite easily, unless it was fixed with bolts through the thickness of the door. I hope some of this is of some use.

Perhaps you need to approach this from another angle? why not just buy a safe and put money/valuables in it?
