What can be done with one of those back doors (no glass) white plastic type that seems to be stuck as it won't open, it appears that it might have warped over time and now just won't open. Is there a secret place to kick it, or any other advice....

I did think of that but the 1st floor flat is from the 1930s I think.
About 2 years ago they did have the fire escape replaced so there is that possibility.

It's probably dropped on it's hinges.
When you try to open it, examine the hinges to see if there's any play,
probably the top one will have deteriorated.
It'll probably open if you force it towards this top hinge as you attempt to
open it
