I got locked out of the house, but my stepdad managed to unlock both the doorknob and the deadbolt using a key from his keychain. How is that even possible?

It sounds like your stepdad may have a universal or master key that can unlock multiple types of locks, or he might have a specific key that fits both the doorknob and the deadbolt. Another possibility is that the locks are not very secure or have a design flaw allowing a key to open both. If the locks are the same brand and type, it’s also possible that the keys are interchangeable. If you’re locked out again, consider having a spare key made or giving someone you trust a backup key for emergencies!
