Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Well I for one don't know a gawd damn thing.
But this is a fresh building and the lock is still smooth as butter. I put enough strength into it to fear snapping something somewhere (either the lock or me).
My wife just needed to turn the key like normal to get in. Nothing stuck.
I would definitely bring this up with the landlord; those locks need to be replaced if you can potentially trap yourself inside (or have someone else trap you inside). This is a pretty serious fire hazard for every tenant that has the same door locks.
If the landlord isn't interested in it, talk to the local Fire Marshall.
Just to add, just because it's new doesn't mean it can't be faulty or working incorrectly. It's your choice if it doesn't bother ya, but it does seem like a big "what if" type of situation to me especially if it's an apartment complex.
