@DaffBagrova @sydneyebrice has the answer. It's really as simple as there being one door versus multiple doors that you want locked.

Usually people will say “lock the doors” if they are in a house that has multiple entrances (at least a front and a back door). If a person lives in an apartment with only one door, they’ll usually say “lock the door”
