I just thought it would be cool if the lock on my bathroom door would light up red when it is locked. Also didn't think it would be that hard to make.
When I was done I was pretty amazed on how cool the effect turned out!

So here is a real easy project for everyone to do with an awesome result.

Below you can see the result in a movie I made.

This instructable is real easy and not too much stuff is needed.

You need:

- 3v red LED light
- 3v button cell battery (I used the CR2032)

There are many materials and ways you can use to build this. I just used what I had laying around and started from scratch.

What model lock did you use? Did it already have a place for the light to shine through?
