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

    After which turning the paddle should unlock it, because why would the order of locking and shutting matter?

    There is no situation where keeping it from unlocking when the key is in would have a positive outcome.

          It’s a two key deadbolt, no flipper, just keyhole either side. They are illegal here for exit doors
