Before take-off, you will hear the command ‘Doors to automatic and crosscheck’.
Passengers assume that the cabin crew are being told to lock the doors. In fact, the instruction is to put the inflatable evacuation slides on to automatic, so that they shoot out if the door is opened.
In practice, plane doors don’t need to be locked because once airborne it’s virtually impossible to open them.

That’s partly because of the unusual way they swing — inwards first and then outwards — and the fact that cabin air pressure is so much higher than the surrounding air pressure.

As a result, as the plane climbs, the cabin air pressure pushes the door outwards, sealing it into place. The higher the plane flies, the stronger the seal becomes. So strong that it would be impossible for anyone to open it.

But, please, don’t try.
