My child ‘accidentally’ pushed the lock button from inside and closed the bathroom door when came out and now i am unable to open the lock. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Hello @bmghauri
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your privacy lock.
If you have a standard door frame where the door trim is attached separately, I can only suggest using a sharp timber chisel and lifting it off the frame. This will give you access to the latch and you can use a cake icing spatula or similar to slide and shimmy down the gap and force the latch to slot in which will allow you to open the door. In its current configuration there are no emergency release options available.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Noyade for their recommendations.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
