door!).


As a matter of habit, I check on the way out whether I have my keys in
my pocket, if not and if I'm not going far) I put the "snick" on the
lock ...


Careful! - I encountered one Yale that would drop the latch after several
uses due to being worn out. Luckily there was someone inside to open the
door.
