HELP!! My Door Lock is messed up!

Well today I locked my door and when I locked it from the inside I could still open the door. So when I got home from the bank, I locked it using the key and now I can't unlock the door at all with the key or inside. Please help me!
Thanks
Ian

use wd-40... try the other door to get inside if you are locked out.

ok thanks, I will let you know what I figure out, I did get the door open, I was trying to open the door while turning the key in the lock and after about a minute the door opened! So tomorrow I will pull off the panel and see whats going on. thanks
