OMG, that is a story to save up for Mommy embarrassment revenge later in life. When we moved into our current house, built in 1940 with original interior doorknobs, I could not for the life of me figure out how to unlock the bathroom and bedroom doors from the outside. When we had a locksmith over for another issue, I asked him how to do it. Answer: "I guess this was before anyone thought of needing to unlock the doors from outside. [Seriously, humanity?] You can't do it. " He added "I come for free if a kid locks themselves into a room." I still have his phone number.

My house was built in 1938, it was fairly heavily renovated in the early 80s but we had all the original doors!
