Silly Question...

Postby RachelS » 15 Jan 2005 1:20

We're renting... the bathroom has a lock... it turns on the inside. On the outside it's just a tiny hole. :( I do not know who makes the lock but I am hoping someone can tell me how to unlock it as my husband locked the door and then shut it on his way out :roll:

I've put a small straw in the hole trying to feel around but I am not sure what I am looking for. I tried to look at other locks in the house (all the same) with a flashlight but the hole is too small.

Any advice?

Standard privacy style lock. 2 main variations, use a small enough to fit the hole flathead screwdriver for both. You have have to "reach" in and push, or you will find there is a slot inside you will turn.

Oh come on....

I thought it might be funny to have a few thousand views and a dozen or more posts on opening bathroom door "locks".

Oh well, locked it is.
