Locks that don't damage the door

I remember a thread here a few months ago where two flatmates had fallen out and a couple of the regular posters here recommended a lock that you could put onto the door (internal) that wouldn't damage the door.
Does anyone remember that thread and can you give me a link to the lock?
Thanks.

I think Pastures New and Firefox know about these. Why not send them a PM?0

I think the 'locks' could only be used from inside, meaning if you left the property unoccupied for any amount of time, the locks could not be used. But I might be wrong."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

I'm thinking for my son's student halls room. I seem to recall that the two women who fell out, one was worried the other would go into her room while she was out and take things. So the lock suggested was to use when she wasn't at home.

I'm surprised there aren't locks already on the doors in student halls. Could be worth raising with the university?
You could take out the door handle and replace with one that has a built-in locking mechanism, and then replace when he leaves. This would mean that the door wasn't damaged and he could lock it whether he was in there or not.0
