I think it's her front door and her neighbors are talking in the hall outside her apartment. (The keys doesn't really make sense with her wanting to 'go')

In Europe you often have doors that lock with keys from inside as well. And no knob/autolock.

The good part is that there is no "I forgot my keys and locked myself out" because either you couldn't leave without your keys or you left your door unlocked.

The bad part is when you are late to your engagement because you can't just leave the apartment unlocked/you are locked in and your room mate Julia misplaced her keys and borrowed yours to go out for an hour and she's an hour late already. Fuck you, Julia. Also fire safety.

Some houses have a deadbolt that has a lock cylinder on both sides because it’s more resistant to breakins. My house is like this and I need a key to leave unless I want to jump out of a window

Have they not invented fire in your country yet?

Like most buildings, my house has windows I can exit in an emergency

Double cylinder deadbolts are pretty common IME

I was thinking it could be a gas station bathroom.
