AITA for closing the front gate to our apartment complex as I go in and out?

Our apartment complex has locked front gates that require a key to use.

I am okay with holding it open for someone if a person is coming or going, but there have been a couple instances where this one particular individual does not close it all the way until it clicks on purpose.

This woman closes the gate properly every time she goes in and out.

As I go in or out, I typically close the gate properly, and it clicks.

This particular individual has seen me doing this and has confronted me twice now.

I do not mind those outside the gate, really.

It is a busy area, so the confrontation always takes me by surprise. I have just let them know they can get more gate keys from the office and gone on my way.

The resident in the apartment complex got upset because she keeps it locked.

I did leave it unlatched for them those times, but I feel bad because they got very upset at me as if I was doing something wrong.

I do not care either way, as I am not the gate control. But I am also not a mind reader.

I expect whoever lives in the complex has a gate key. I like to follow rules, so I close the gate all the way.

I do not know. AITA here?

Finally, short and sweet.

Some people want security, but not the kind that actually locks.
