I wrote this. It's part of a dialog.
I was freezing and there were no other houses in sight, so I broke into the conservatory. I was just going to stay there until it started getting light, but then I found that the door to the house wasn't locked, so I decided to go inside and wait.
Conservatory: BRITISH - a room with a glass roof and walls, attached to a house at one side and used as a sun lounge or for growing delicate plants.
Question: If 'I' would have to try to open the door to find out it wasn't locked, is 'found' very natural here or would you prefer something else?
