1366116 2014-01-25 21:38:00 Does anyone know if a locked internal door to a bedroom (and the key is not working) can be considered an urgent repair?
Its Sunday and getting hold of the Landlord is like pulling teeth and I need a locksmith.

1366117 2014-01-25 21:42:00 Do you urgently need to get in there? Who locked it? My answer would be no plod (107)

It is a bedroom so yes, he needs his clothes and toys etc etc.

No one locked it (to my knowledge) he simply closed the door and its possible the turny thing snapped closed but that isn't relevant.
The main problem is the key is not working.

Only thing I see is the collar that is tight up against the door, on a similar door the screws are on the inside.
If a locksmith does it then I am not responsible for any damage.

1366124 2014-01-25 22:22:00 Any open or partly open windows in the room that someone could climb in through from the outside to open door from inside ? wainuitech (129)
1366125 2014-01-25 22:39:00 Can you take the door pins out. If the door opens outwards the door pins should be on the outside. Bobh (5192)
