Which is why I've been so careful not to go out without all the keys on my person somewhere. And most of the time I've got a doorstop in place to keep it from closing all the way. But that time, I screwed up.

I'm gonna stop somewhere tonight and either get copies of the existing key made, or else just buy a different doorknob/lock for it entirely if I can find something I like that doesn't work that way. I want to replace all the doorknobs eventually because they're bright yellow gold things and I hate them, plus I probably should change the locks anyway just on general principles.
