Question about locks/padlocks?

okay so i have this four foot tall door that doesnt have a door knob on it. The only way that you can open it is by pressing down on the top of the door and pulling towards you. there is a hole where the door knob used to be, but it doesnt go through the whole way. I need to find a way to lock this door with a sort of padlock or something. Any suggestions?

thanks in advance,

Jules

    You need to loosen the hinges, re-align the door so it doesn't stick.

    Then, buy a padlock and a Hasp......

    with a screwdriver, install the Hasp on the door,

    and the door-jamb, then use the padlock.
