Door lock question

I was wondering if you guys can lock your doors with the key from the outside. Mine unlock with the key fine, but you cant lock it with the key

I usually either take the mechanical pencil refills or split a wooden pencil lengthwise adn jsut use a rod of that in my locks. Grund it up by inserting and removing the key several times.
