You know not every door and lock is exactly like your set up, right? And that one can get locked out of their apartment even if they left it with their keys, right?

No, I didn't know that, and I've installed so many locks I should get an honorary locksmith's union card. I just installed one this evening. Unless it's a roommate who's thrown a blind deadbolt, I'm all ears to hear how one gets locked out while actually having the keys to fully functional locks.

I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out. Instead of paraphrasing, re-read what was actually written. Reading comprehension is so neglected in this day and age.

Nope, I guess I'm not as smart as you think I am. The OP said they locked themselves out. To me that always means that they pulled the door closed with the latch set to lock, while not in possession of their keys. If it's more complicated than that you're going to have to explain it to me instead of blowing smoke.
