This will happen when the gap between the push&pull lock handle and door frame is too narrow.
Common "bug" for push&pull lock with the 60mm or shorter latch length
70mm is better but lock is more expensive and installation may be more difficult.

For common Malaysia door (swing in from outside or push to open), it has less chance to happen but can still happen.
And if we are used to it, the chance of hurting your hand is lower too but please be mindful for visitors and kids.


The lock with lever handle does not suffer this issue because the design is implicitly forcing us to use same hand and further from the door frame.

Of course, Push&pull lock's design look aesthetically better.
