Ok I have a serious problem. When I moved into this new house I was damned with having a door in my room where you can easily unlock the door outside by using your nails or a penny, even if the door is locked inside.
I have no privacy. My parents and my sister have no respect for me and my privacy and they open the door when it's locked with a purpose.
Specially my sister, I hate the ***** and I went her out of my room and my life. Talking to them doesn't work. My sister is like a beast she doesn't behave like a normal person.
Thank God I am 19 and soon I will get out of here, but for now what can I do?
Is there any device I can buy in the hardware store that can make some pressure in the door knob inside my room not letting people outside open it.

No I am not allowed to change the door lock. My parents want the doors to look all the same. Maybe I can find a similar style.

There are several ways. A light sliding deadbolt, which would require you to put in 6 screws, or they make a device that has a y at the top that you put under the doorknob, and push the end which has a rubber tip toward the door wedging it shut (sort of like putting a chair under the knob, another way to keep it shut). Try Home Depo for these items.

First of all, you're living in your parent's house. Regradless of your age, *their* rules apply. If they have determined you don't need privacy, then the only thing you can do is move.
They do make door stops, which will keep a person from entering, but if this is frowned upon by your parents, then it might get you kicked out of the house.
I guess, except for dressing, you really have no expectations of privacy in a residence you don't own - and you can get dressed in the bathroom, a room which, I am sure locks in your parents' home.

Don't they make a bar that you can wedge under the door knob and down to the floor that will prevent someone from entering through the door. I'm sure you could get on at the hardware store.

Could you add a slide lock above it and paint it the same color as the doorjamb, then when they try the lock, the door still won't open? They sure are determined to get into your room-what are you keeping in there?

stick a chair up under your door knob. I had to do it when I lived at home with my sisters.

How about installing a sliding bolt type lock on the inside of your door, that way they won't be able to enter.. and you can't see it from the outside..

Your best solution is like you pointed out... you're 19. If you're capable of moving out and supporting yourself do it.
Otherwise, you'll just have to abide by the wishes and rules that your parents have set forth.

perhaps you can call a locksmith to fix/change the lock for you if you can't change the knob.
As far as your parents going into your room, there's not much you can do about it other than ask them not to, their house...their rules, blah blah blah
maybe with your sister you can fight fire with fire and go into her room ?
