Help, please.
I exited my bedroom to the living room closing the door behind me.
Now the door won't open, and it's not locked. The hinges are on the
inside.
I tried a coathanger end and a screwdriver in the center of the knob,
but it meets resistance and is a dead end.
I pried off the trim plate thinking I would find screws! NO! There
are two holes that look like recessed rivets, and an Allen wrench and
a screw driver did not help.
The plastic center post turns just fine, and I can hear the knob
turning on the other side. I can't tell if the latch is leaving the
hole in the door frame though. I've tried a putty knife, a credit
card, and an icing spreader to slip back the latch. No go.
Any ideas? How can I get those rivet-like things off? Do I need to
call a locksmith?
Thanks!
