To be locked in the bathroom because of the jammed lock – it seems ridiculous only in comedy movies. It is good when houses are still someone and it is possible to call to the aid. Otherwise it is necessary to hope only for own forces and ingenuity.
1. The way of opening of the jammed door depends on set of factors: whether it opens inside or outside as far as it powerful and as densely adjoins to door jamb what design of the lock, whether will be in the bathroom at least one subject which can be used as the tool. At last, from the one who was locked: man or woman.
2. If you the assistant trying to get out the captive outside begin with survey of door and the lock. Now English type locks, that is with the sprung uvula latch are very popular. And jamming of door happens just because this spring fails. If you do not want to break door, try to wring out uvula. In case the door opens in the bathroom, that is the diagonal cut of uvula is closer to you, this procedure very simple.
3. Take thin chisel, the screw-driver with flat sting or table knife with the rounded-off edge and strong edge. Implant sting of chisel (screw-driver) or the rounded-off end of knife into slot between the door and its jamb in that place where the uvula has to be located. Carefully, but with some effort press. As a rule, in similar locks uvula quite weak therefore it has to be wrung out quickly, and the door will open.
4. If the door opens outside, to you the flat side of uvula will be turned, and thus it will not be possible to wring out it. Then you should destroy a little side jamb over that place where there is dredging where the latch uvula enters. Your task is to pick up uvula face sting or the end of edge then to wring out it.
5. And how to be if you have appeared the bans in the bathroom, and in the house there is nobody any more? Hardly indoors, where wash, there will be chisel or knife. In that case try to look though for some subject which will replace them. Nail file, for example, too it is possible to wring out uvula. If in the bathroom made repairs recently, there can be palette or something similar.
6. As a last resort, if the door opens outside, try to beat out it. In most cases they quite shaky, and the woman can even cope with this task. Apply the towel contracted into several layers to shoulder, then with force press shoulder at door near aperture edge. It is better if legs rest against something, then the push will leave much more effectively. At the same time free hand you hold wall not to fall if the door suddenly is opened.
