We had this happen this weekend. I was in the trailer, DH left for his meeting. He locked the door from the outside as he typically does, so I don't have to engage the lock from inside. A little later, I attempted to open the door... for the first time ever, I could not get out! The red lever that is the deadbolt was in the "locked" position, but I could not move it to the "unlocked" position, no matter what I did. The handle would make the regular latch disengage, but not the deadbolt. How did this happen? How do we make sure it doesn't happen again, to anyone!? If there had been an emergency, I really would have been in a pickle! I happened to see our neighbor outside. I handed her our key, and she was able to unlock the door from the outside and free me.
