With the help of Hashem may we never need to actually use the advice given here. It is only in the way of hishtadlut.
MAMAD
1. Important: locking the door of the mamad from the inside is
only intended to against the intrusion of terrorists.
2. It
is forbidden to lock the mamad door when missiles are being fired, because
there is no need for it, and mainly because a locked door will make it very
difficult to rescue people trapped inside.
3. Keep all means of
locking the door out of the reach of children to prevent them from locking
themselves from inside the room.
4. To lock the mamad door from the inside is a temporary
solution and is on the sole responsibility of the user. There is no
recommendation here to do so.
5. One must listen to the instructions of the home command.
6. Do not disassemble the handles of the Mamad door, because
that can damage the handle and it will not lock, and one will have to bring in
a professional to fix it.

Another way to lock the MAMAD door from the inside is with a simple iron bolt, which one can buy at hardware stores:
https://did.li/QwmIw
Buy a fairly big and strong bolt.
A skilled person should do the installation, because you have to
drill in the door with screws for drilling, and you have to drill a hole in the
MAMAD door frame, which is iron.
Two bolts can be installed, one on each side.

MIKLAT
There are houses that have no MAMAD, only a MIKLAT. It's door
can also be locked, by a large wooden beam:
https://did.li/pTgZH
And the MIKLAT window should also be locked.
There are apartments in which the door or window of the mamad
and miklat have been damaged, or have been removed.
The Mamad is the property of the apartment owner and the Home
Front Command does not repair it.
But the Home Front Command website has important information on
these topics, also in English and Russian.
In Hebrew:

In English:

Among other things it says there:
"It is
forbidden to take apart the door of the mamad or make changes to it. Please
note - if the door of the mamad has been removed - it must be returned as soon
as possible. Please note: if the door cannot be returned, when receiving a
warning you must sit in the corner of the mamad and not in front of the door
opening.
If there is a need to install a new door in a mamad, you should
contact authorized companies only, for installing mamad doors and windows. The
doors produced by these companies have undergone an explosion test and received
the standard mark of the Standards Institute: https://did.li/wnU5q
… At this time,
doors and windows that are not approved for sale and installation in protected
areas are advertised. There are companies that present themselves as having
approval from the Home Front Command and the Standards Institute, even though
they are not.
...however, due
to a load of inquiries to the authorized manufacturers, it may not be possible
to coordinate an installation in the near future.
Until a door is installed by a licensed installer, it must be
remembered that even in the absence of a door or a standard door, the mamad
still constitutes the best protected space. If the door is not in order, do not
sit in front of it during your stay in the mamad."
For those still interested, there are other companies that manufacture and install doors and windows of mamad and miklat.
You can try at Rav Bariach door maker, as well as at this company:
