I'm getting a deck on my house replaced later this week, and I don't want anyone to accidentally walk out the door when there's no deck there, so I designed and printed this little thing to keep the deadbolt in a locked position. If your deadbolt stays in the locked position in the other direction, you'll have to print it as a mirror image.

Disclaimer: Don't use this long-term to lock your doors from the inside. If you have a fire in your house and can't get out because this piece is on your deadbolt, I'm not responsible. Itshould be pretty easy to defeat (i.e. break) in a panic situation, but it's not designed to do so. Only use this when the door is otherwise obstructed (like if it opens out to nothing) or your space is unoccupied.

How I Designed This

I took a picture of my door, and took a measurement between the screws for scale reference. I got the image scaled correctly in photoshop, then loaded it into Illustrator, drew a shape around it, and iterated until I got a shape I was happy with.

I took the "knife" tool, and cut the bottom half off and saved it as a separate SVG. I took the two SVG files and extruded them in openscad.
