Gayle - I was giggling at your "predicament and solution". Reminded me of my only lockout. My son was 3 weeks old and I was still at home recuperating after his birth and my Cesarean. I normally just opened the door, reached out and picked up the newspaper, but this day, the paper was about 4 feet from the door, late November, about 20 degrees out and snow on the ground. I was in my nightgown with just socks on my feet, but stepped out to pick up the paper. The door closed behind me. LOCKED out. Brand new baby in the house, no coat, no shoes, not a lot of options available. I found a rock near the steps and broke the window in the door, reached in and unlocked it. Unfortunately, it was a long skinny window, about 38" X 6" and cost me $45 to repair (1977 prices).
