Keys Inside the Property
When the keys are safely indoors, the good news is that there is usually no lost-key security issue.
The bad news is that you still cannot get through the door.
Self-latching doors do not care whether you intended to lock them.
They can close while you:

Once the latch engages, the key on the other side is not much help.
Do Not Turn a Simple Lockout Into Door Damage
The fact that you know the key is inside can make DIY entry tempting.
Avoid it.
Levering the frame, forcing the latch, kicking the door or removing visible hardware can damage parts that were working perfectly before the lockout.
The locksmith can inspect the installed hardware and determine an appropriate way to restore access.
What If the Door Did Not Simply Latch?
Sometimes a lockout initially looks like a keys-inside situation, but there is a mechanical problem as well.
For example:
Mention these symptoms. The locksmith needs to know whether the lock is functioning normally or whether something has failed.
Spare Key Will Not Work
If someone brings a spare key and it still will not open the door, stop forcing it.
The lock may have a cylinder, latch or bolt problem.
Using more force can snap the spare and leave another fragment inside the lock.
A key that normally operates the door should not suddenly require extreme pressure.
Lockout With a Broken Key
A key may break while you are trying to regain entry.
If part remains inside the cylinder, leave it alone.
Do not insert another key behind it.
Broken key extraction may be required before the original lockout can be resolved.
Lost Keys Rather Than Keys Inside
Sometimes you think the key is indoors, then realise it is actually missing.
That changes the situation.
If the key has been lost somewhere outside the property, particularly with identifying information, security may need to be considered after access is restored.
Rekeying or replacement can be assessed depending on the hardware.
Door Opens but Will Not Lock Afterwards
The lockout may be solved, but the job is not finished if the door cannot secure.
A latch, bolt or lock mechanism that fails after entry should be inspected.
If the property cannot be locked reliably, urgent repair or replacement may be required.
