no access to hinges and you cant jimmy the door with a putty knife
becuase of a lip on the front door jamb. i think my only hoe is to try
and reattach the half of a doorknob and twist it open, i dont know


Look in the goddamn hole where the doorknob was like people have been
telling you to. You will see the latch mechanism. It is child's play
to figure out how it works, then use a suitable flat-bladed
screwdriver to either twist or pull whatever makes the latch release.


Yeah, I was about to resort to profanity myself. If this guy is still
stuck, he shouldn't be allowed to own a screwdriver.
