Well, it turns out that despite assuring us that the door was always locked, she did not in fact know how to close the door. She had indeed been fastidiously locking it, but without both sides of the door properly engaged. Although the door has indeed always been locked, it has in essence often been wide open. We have subsequently taught her how to properly close the door before locking it, ensuring that both sides of the mechanism engage, but I still frequently find it locked but openable when I spot-check it at various points in the day.
Not that I keep anything of value in there any more. All my tools, frames and other gear is D-locked to radiators in the dining room until further notice.
