Every time you pass through a door that locks, do this:
hold the door open, not allowing it to close
locate the key that opens that lock and hold it
now let the door close
let go of the key
The more you do this, the more it becomes a habit: you never let a locked door close unless you’re holding the key that opens it.
The fact that it’s physical touch and not just mental confirmation makes it stronger, and easier to program as a habit since you sort of build it into your body.
It’s just a mental trigger: PASSING THROUGH DOOR -> TOUCH KEY
Then sometimes you’ll be unconsciously reaching for that key to touch it, and you can’t find it, and you’re still holding the door open, and it just saved you from a major hassle of being locked out.
