@justdancerebecca Hello! Have you tried replacing the door? I recently had an issue with locked doors and was only able to resolve it by removing the door in BuildBuy mode and placing a new door.

@JonaO703Thank you for the responseeee 🙂 Unfortunately, replacing it didn't work for me, I'm not sure why. Additionally, I tried other types of doors in the same spot as well in case it was caused by a certain type of door, but I still had the same problem. I have 2 other doors to the exterior that work to circumvent the issue temporarily and they're fine, but I continue to have the issue with any front door I set in that specific spot. *shrug*

@justdancerebecca Dang! That is a strange issue. After reviewing your original post, I wanted to clarify what you meant by the "lock symbol". Did you mean this?
Or are you seeing something different?
Also, I wondered if you made any changes to the lot near that specific spot. Did you add any platforms by the spot where you place the door? I'm just wondering if there could be something else preventing your sims from using that door.
I'd like to see if I can replicate the issue. I tried a bunch of different ways to lock / unlock doors in my test save but I didn't have any issues. Would you mind saving the lot and uploading it to the gallery? Maybe name it something like Door Fail?

I know! ☹️ oh, to answer your question, actually no, the bubble has a picture of a padlock on it. The sim flails her arms around and shrugs; pretty much the same action as if there was a routing error. Here's what I'm greeted by when trying to get through the problem door:
But yes, you make a good point, I've been thinking about that, too, but I don't have a platform at the entry. I used moveobjects quite a bit (particularly, a decorative wreath on the door itself, which never usually gives me any grief). I also did fiddle with the railing and spandrels on the front 'porch', but removing or changing the railing doesn't rectify it either ☹️ and of course haha, sounds good! I'll do that right now, I appreciate the help so so much. It's driving me crazy

Do you think it's this issue? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Door-won-t-set-as-front-door/m-p/10546252#M192623 An easy test is to flip the lot around 180 and also try placing it on a different lot. Which lot is your house currently on?
Can't figure out if this is a simple routing issue based on the specific build and surrounding landscape off-lot or maybe a bugged lot, of which there seem to be a few in the game in different worlds.
