Are any of your rigs like that if you lock from outside you can’t unlock from inside.

What year and model is this rig? If it is new, the lock assembly should be replaced under warranty. If this is an older rig, just replace the entire lock assembly, as it's not worth messing with. A couple years ago, my wife got stuck inside when the inside handle broke. After a lot of frustration, she finally got her wits about her and was able to use her key to manually slide the bolt open and got out. We replaced the lock assembly that same day after traveling over 200 miles round trip to purchase a new latch/lock assembly.
