Locked door - Key won’t open! Pic attached.

[Fez111]

Hi All, seeking some urgent advice please!

We locked this door last night after a long time, now suddenly none of the keys will open the door.

All of this was to hide something for my daughter’s surprise party later today - now everything’s inside, and we’re scrambling outside!

What I’ve tried so far -

• Using all the keys for the door (in case one has gone bad)
• Wd-40
• Other similar looking keys, ‘just in case’
• Unscrewing the handle, for better access access/ visibility. (That’s why screws are removed on the handle)

For context it’s a living room door, and we’re stuck in the hallway outside the door.



Thanks in advance guys, your suggestions may determine if the party goes ahead!

Ease some pressure on and off the door, at the same time as jiggling the key?
Are the hinge pins removable from that side?

Unfortunately on the ‘wrong’ side. No access to hinge pins.

have the screws been removes as part off the entry attempt ??
if so reinsert before wiggling pulling pushing
as random grinch suggests above

Will the key or any keys go fully into the lock body? Wondering if the curtain if it had one has spun around slightly and now not allowing the key, any key to fit in

please read my further edit above
also drumming the door with your fist whilst turning the key is worth a try ??
