Internal door - jammed shut - handle not operating latch
If he has been locked out since 2013, then I'd suggest he watches out for
the killer spiders inside.

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....
Slide a piece of wire into the space above the latch and and wiggle it down
until it comes out below the latch. If you curve the wire slightly before
you start it will pop out below the latch. Twist the 2 ends of the wire
together using pliers. As you keep twisting and applying more pressure the
latch will pop open like magic!
