I think caesia390's suggestion of magic is about all it can be. We know the exterior windows and doors were boarded up, but our werewolf friend seems to have made a fairly good snack out of the furniture in the Shrieking Shack, so in seven years of determined effort you'd expect him to have been able to gnaw his way out past the barriers.
And - jumping ahead a bit - since Remus conjured up various ropes and shackles for the use of their return with the apprehended Peter, there was clearly nothing of that sort to hand in the room with the four poster bed. Shame. Because actually, there is a way you could chain up a person that would still keep them chained when they transformed into werewolf: you put a collar and lead on them, since the neck area doesn't change overmuch. A little undignified true, but better than eating your classmates.
Mind you, this is heading waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back into areas of love shack territory that we probably shouldn't go in to. ;-)
