Welcome to IWETHEY!

New The first pull pops the lock
But it feels different, and I could see how it could confuse someone if they weren't paying attention.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New But it has good fall-back behaviour.
To wit: if they panic and start pulling and pulling.... hey, whaddyaknow - it's open now... :-)

Wade.

"Ah -- I take it the doorbell doesn't work?"
New Any relatively recent car over here does that.
From my 10-year-old BMW to the brand-spanky-new hire cars I get, they all do the same thing.

I think my old Nissan did it, too, and that would be 20 years old.
New Seems there's no standard
Wasn't sure re mine responded to repeated pulls, so tried it: (I'd instinctively reach for the switch next to door-pull)
Nope, pull n+1 times and no-go;
'course the large-lettered LOCK/UNLOCK switch is ... about 1 cm in front of the regular pull-lever.

(Now if the battery had been stolen while you were away.. and you locked self in, for whatever reason)
That UNLOCK switch'd be dead as a doornail.
-- on my '94, you'd need to pry up the flush lock/unlock plungers on window sill; long fingernails? maybe..
New Security system
I accidentally triggered the security system on my Toyota Sienna. I think I unlocked manually using the switch on the door after locking by clicking the remote, which is a no-no.

Flashing lights and horn, and all the doors kept locking every time the horn went off.

I had to turn the key in the ignition to get out, although I think somebody with faster hands could have flipped the door lock and opened the door before it locked again.

A colonoscopy, while eerily similar, is probably better than politics.
