I installed a lock called the "door guardian" last week that works well and was easy to install as long as you have a small gap between the door and the jam as most doors do.

I found some at Ace Hardware. It's a plastic shell that covers the door nob. Meant for toddlers, but it worked fine. I liked them because I could quickly snap them on when the situation escalated, and there were no extra keys involved.
