HOWEVER...If that is a really old door latch where the knob is on the top of the door plate and the key operates its own separate deal down below, I’d call in a locksmith. Probably take a good one less time to pick the lock than you’d think (if he doesn’t have the keys that fit on hand), the cost shouldn’t be terrible and I just don’t like to see that good old stuff junked.
....my pipewrench recommendation notwithstanding....
It is what you described above :(
Not even a screw on the doorknob! Can’t budge the hinges though I’ve been given advice and still can’t budge them.
My wife’s not even sure what’s in there but it can’t stay closed forever.
Thanks man. Any last tips before I go at it, please let me know :)
Nope, I’d recommend the locksmith as a last word....
