EAMET's definitions

dolt

Dolts are not necessarily stupid people, but engage in stupid actions or make stupid comments. Others around them would define their actions as dumb, spaced-out, or uneducated. Dolts often "speak to soon" as their stupid actions are often preventable.

Someone who tries to open the front door to their house with their car key is a dolt.
