Tried taking door handle off and turning with pliars etc but it just
seem to turn enough to open the latch.

What are my options? All I can see at the moment is kick the door
in....

Happened to me recently. I have to chisel out the door frame around the
latch. Got the door opened, repaired the frame with wood filler and
repainted. And a new door latch!
