You are making the classic mistake of ancient ASOUE theorists. You are thinking that the world of ASOUE revolves around the Baudelaires. But that simple is not true, and that is what makes ASOUE so cool ... Olaf locked it so that other people would not inadvertently enter or open and leave it open. That tunnel was an achievement on the Incendiary side, which must be locked, just as you lock your door when you leave. After all, it is a secret passage in open ground.

It's true that, logically, Olaf must have used that entrance to the passageway repeatedly in the story, as attested by the TEE postman. But the important point is that it can be locked from the inside at all.

I think Count Olaf definitely at this point in the series would assume the Baudelaires would be "lucky" enough to escape. They've proven themselves resourceful and able to get out of sinister situations time and time again, so Olaf is probably smart enough to figure they might escape.
