Lock the door.

Discipline.
Say no to your kid, don't teach them that they an get anything and everything.
To many parent's have been doing that the past few decades and that just leads to the useless youths that just deserve a good beating to put them on line.

At bedtime, put her in her bed.  Stay calm, and keep putting her back in bed.  Don't talk to her, don't play with her, don't threaten her.  Just tell her the first time it is bedtime, hugs and kisses, leave the room.  Second time, just tell her bed time.  Then just quietly put her back to bed.  The first night is the worst, but it gets better.  It took a week for 1 of mine to stop getting up, but it is so worth it.  Good luck.

This is the best way. You have to be extremely patient and be prepared to lose some sleep. If the kid keeps getting up, you keep putting her back. It can go on for hours the first night or 2, but once she realizes you aren't giving up, she will give in.
Don't give in to " I need another hug, I'm hungry, thirsty, etc.
Good Luck

Talk to your child. May sure you stay constant with her so she understand that she needs to sleep in her own room. Before bedtime talk to her, get her ready for bed. Tuck her in and leave the room. If she cries tuck her in again dont say a word stay constant. It will work.

When I struggled to get my third daughter to do what I needed her to do, when all else failed, I would do the reward system.  She would get a sticker each time she was good or did what was required, after so many stickers (you set the number) she would get a fish for her aquarium.

My husband and I begin by sitting next to their bed until they go to sleep and then night by night start inching our way out the door.  So far it has worked for all of our kids.

 I also believe in talking you child and also not to scream and curse at them because that only makes them disrespect you. At least that has work for me. My son is 12 yrs. old and I have done that with him as long as I can remember I talk to him as if I would want someone to talk to me.

keep putting her in her bed and start locking the door so she cant get out of the room

Whatever you do don't put her in the bed with you. I did that and it took til my daughter was eight before she would sleep by herself.

I'm not a parent, but the locking the doors suggestion just seems horrible in my opinion.  I would try lying with her in her own bed (not sure how big her bed is) so she would get used to sleeping in her own bed, and then easing off of that.

Try to put the colorful  projector soother for her.My friend just moved her 17 month old from their bed to a crib, and the first night was an absolute nightmare. She cried all night and no one slept at all. The next day my friend purchased a projector soother, and it has made the transition so much easier. She just lies and watches the projected image for 10 minutes and is asleep when it ends.
