I had a similar problem. The latch mechanism was worn because of missadjusted strike plate.
I removed the hinge pins and then from the outside force the door in.
Because of the knuckes on the hinges I still had to force it.
When I went to a locksmith they reconized the wear patterns. I think that there is a way to force it after removing the handles, but don't know. A locksmith might know. |
