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

    Well I for one don’t know a gawd damn thing.

    But this is a fresh building and the lock is still smooth as butter. I put enough strength into it to fear snapping something somewhere (either the lock or me).

    My wife just needed to turn the key like normal to get in. Nothing stuck.

      I would definitely bring this up with the landlord; those locks need to be replaced if you can potentially trap yourself inside (or have someone else trap you inside). This is a pretty serious fire hazard for every tenant that has the same door locks.

      If the landlord isn’t interested in it, talk to the local Fire Marshall.

      Just to add, just because it’s new doesn’t mean it can’t be faulty or working incorrectly. It’s your choice if it doesn’t bother ya, but it does seem like a big “what if” type of situation to me especially if it’s an apartment complex.
