om...
just locked meself out and didnt have the cash of £57 for a locksmith,no
windows open to get through but managed to get in...will have to buy a
new letterbox now though. :-( good job key was in the lock inside.

Assuming it was a euro cyinder you might not have been able to open the
door even if you had a key, often a key left in the lock on the inside
stops a key inserted from the outside from unlocking the lock.

I've just come across this with the new doors the landlord's just had
fitted. Bloody annoying. Something to check when I buy new door locks for
the bungalow...
