Answer 3

That is a specific sign of OCD.  You should tell your doctor because there are meds that can help you.  You don't want it to get out of control - right now you're checking the lock and itching your arm, but you don't want it to carry over in many 4 times things in a day.

Good luck, you'll be fine.
