need help unlocking a door

Postby chau » 5 Jun 2007 18:23

Hello,

I need help unlocking the door that leads to the office in my house. I am not familiar with types of locks so I took pictures hoping they provide enough information for someone on this forum to help me:

Type of lock (uses a key to open):

surroundings:

Notice where the lock is suppose to snap the door shut, there happens to be a bridge separating the door and the outside making it difficult to slip a coat hanger or a credit through.

To lock this door from the inside is the usual twisting thing that tends to be used on bedroom/bathroom doors of any modern house.

If anyone could help me open this door, much would be appreciated.

I'm locked out because my parents will not me allow me to use their computer. I have found numerous amounts of malware, after hearing them complain about how slow the computer runs. They assume I'm "destroying" their files, regardless I'm just removing malware. I'm a moderator a www.majorgeeks.com, but being only Asian decendents, they speak very little english and do not understand.

I posted this thread here before realizing the Questions forum.

Never mind. If all is going to be difficult, I might as well spend my time asking help elsewhere.

Thanks anyways and good night.

Heres a thought. Try talking to your parents and explaining your position to them. Please don't take this the wrong way, but we are not here to help children disobey their parents wishes.

I saw that. Figured they must lock him out when they are not home. Am I mistaken or are we getting about one of these "get to my parents computer" posts a week now?

Sorry, we cannot help you there.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
