It's more a feature of the type of lock, rather than the door. What
is a DG door, anyway?

Right, so it is the lock that's the problem, not the door.

Well yeah...but isnt it fair to say that the lock is an integral
part of the
door pertaining to DG doors?

DG doors don't have to have locks that allow you to lock yourself out.
None of my eight DG doors allow you to lock yourself out.

I've never come across one that didn't lock you out. I usually pull the
inside handle up so the catches protrude & the door can't slam if I have
to pop out to the van for something.

There are two ways you can have a stanard DG door lock Dave...
When you take the lever plate of it has two holes for the lever rod one is
for standard opening ie it wont lock when you go out and will be able to get
in if the door slas shut,the other hole is for securing the door from the
outside should you forget to lock it with the key.
At least that is what this door is capable of doing.

If you have a DG door just slip the handle plate off and you will see the
two square holes,thing is you have to change the handle to accept which way
you want the lock to operate.
