Removing a Broken Doorknob
wrote:
Replacing a doorknob that was missing half of the door knob (1 of the
two sides). the door is closed, and the strike blot is engaged. by
twisting the one knob, it cant move or catch the latch properly, and
by taking it off completely with the trim, leaves me with a bolt that
is stuck. since the door is closed and cannot open, i cannot remove
the two screws to undo the blot lock, i can only access it from inside
the hole...how do i get this bolt out from the inside, or enough to
get it to retract so i can open the door?
Can you "jimmy" the bolt with a credit card or putty knife inserted
between the latch plate and the door edge?
