Today, while installing a deadbolt on my closet, I did it wrong. It closed but wouldn't lock so I had to re-install it. Sitting on the floor of my closet, I shut it to make sure it was installed correctly. I locked myself in for twenty minutes, home alone, before kicking the door down. FML

umm a deadbolt on my closet because i'm home from college and my sister steals all of my clothes. also, its not a deadbolt but like one of those doorknobs that have a key lock and when you install a new doorknob there is the piece that clicks into the wall when it shuts. I installed it backwards to decided to check and make sure it was right the 2nd time and it clicked therefore, i was locked in the closet because you install the knob after that.

You don't mean "doorknob" do you? A deadbolt on a closet isn't much good unless you're hiding the bodies ^^;

1. a deadbolt on the closet so my sister wont steal my clothes 2. it was one of those doorknobs that have a key so i guess not really a deadbolt my bad 3. you install like the thing that clicks into the door before the knob so it clicked in and there was no doorknob to turn to get out 4. to take off the hinges the door would have to be open 5. its not fake

Why do you need a deadbolt on a closet? Are people trying to get in from the other side?

If you locked yourself IN the closet, that means the deadbolt was installed to have the latch facing the outside and the keyhole facing the inside. Why would you need that on your closet? The ONLY reason would be to lock someone in there ........................... Wtf?
