Hi Bruno.
Be advised that fitting a locking pin on the inside of the door could
impede access to someone attempting to get you out in an emergency if you
are unable to do it yourself, of course if its only your passenger it may
not matter too much !.
( the last comment is not meant to be taken seriously ! ! :<))
That would not be allowed on a certified aircraft.
