#Suggestions to tell if this door is locked or not?

Hi everyone, I'm just looking for some way to tell HA if this door is locked or not. It only locks via the deadbolt, which is the knob that turns. I thought about getting a contact sensor but I'm not too sure if that will work.

I'm in an apartment for I can't make any changes to the lock.

Any ideas?

Initially I thought a contact sensor of sorts but if you don't think that would work you can try and gyroscopic sensor, though that might be a bit awkward to have on the lock.

A window switch with the magnet on the lock turner.
