I forgot my key on the hole and locked the door when I got in. Now I can’t open the door.

I’m not concerned, the wife is hanging with a friend, so she’ll be able to open the door when she gets back, but I was planning to go get a pizza

      Are people actually worried about this scenario? Seems like having the invader in the first place and you are pretty far down a road where the police lockout is relatively small potatoes given the situation. Also where im at a locked door in that situation won’t stop cops much. If anything the criminal migh find he escalated such that special units were called to the scene.

        The double sided locks are so they can’t bust a window and reach through to unlock it.

        It doesn’t have anything to do with locking the police out.

          I have been thinking about it and I think I have seen it at some folks places but then they basically kept a key in it anyway. I could sorta see the bolt as you should not be able to lock yourself in/out with that.
