Please, point me to some sturdy, adjustable locks I can install on my bedroom door for safety

Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this. I feel a little lost. Throwaway account for safety.

I live with a physically violent man. After he threatened me again recently I’ve decided to buy a lock for my bedroom door to hopefully feel safer. I do already have one installed, a sliding lock, but I live in an old house and the door shifts with the seasons so the lock only really works when it is hot out.

So, are there any good and sturdy locks that I can buy for under $100 that don’t require being aligned well? I’ve considered a chain lock but I’ve heard those can be broken easily. If it’s portable or easy to hide that would be a bonus. I can’t replace the handle as anything visible from the outside of the door closed he’d probably mess with or it would provoke him.

And before anyone says it, I can’t just leave. Thank you for any help in advance. I’m not sure who else to ask.
