How to make my doorknob shock people?

My roommate and I have a friend that always goes to bed a couple hours before us and always wants us to get up when he does. We tried locking our door but he learned how to pick our lock so I want to know how to make my doorknob shock him when he tries to get in. Not to where it hurts him but to where he can't touch it long enough to pick the lock. If there are any other ways besides this to keep him out please let me know but the shocking idea seems to be the best way to keep him out.

Update:

Don't suggest putting something over the door so it falls on him, we don't want to clean that up.

    The best way to do this would be to install one of those little electric fence kits that are intended for small gardens. The shock is similar to what you get if you grab a spark plug cable. However there would be the problem of finding a suitable ground. Even if you connect one wire to the door knob you still have to connect the other to something else and depending on the floor, this might not be possible.

    DO NOT use the electricity from the outlets in your place. That could kill.

    Its not the carpet silly, Its the microwaves effecting you. What you need to do is to 711 and crawl into their large industrial Microwave that they use to microwave their oh so yummy breakfast sandwiches. But first make sure the rotating plate inside is turning counter clockwise in order to counter act the effects you are getting in your office. Then put on high for 3 minutes, stay in Microwave 2 minutes before getting out. You'll be good to go! No more shocking when you touch door knobs. Just a nice constant humming in you head... Good Luck. Oh and by the way, when your at 711 , if you happen to use the restroom, Don't by any means, flush paper towels down the toilet... It clogs the chili dispenser and they get really pissed.

    Fit a Door bolt on your side of the door. Even if he can pick the lock, he cant get in with a bolt on the inside.

    A better lock and perhaps a deadbolt would be much better, and probably easier for you to disarm. I had a Schlage and the locksmith told me that they were fairly difficult to get in to (when I locked myself out of my bedroom).

    I can't think of any electrical system that would be reliable and safe enough for your needs. It would also be insanely clumsy to setup/take down. Even low voltage things can melt/catch fire when installed or used incorrectly.

    There are kits out there for reducing voltage which will do your job lovely. But illegal in UK. Look USA sites as ok there. Beware. If you kill him the cops might want to speak to you but a man should not be breaking into your bedroom at anytime

    The best thing to get is another friend or room mate. Next a polyester carpet and a sign that says wipe your feet before entering.

    Smear dog poop on the doorknob. I bet that will be the last time he will pick a lock.

    Make it something that he will not want to touch, maybe genitalia? Lol, only joking, just tell him not to do it anymore
