External Cupboard Door Latch Stuck
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2018 2:37 pm
An external cupboard door has jammed. I've attached a picture to show the lock type (it is definitely not locked - there is no key to lock it!)
I've removed the handle and used pliers to turn the spindle but it doesn't move the latch so I think something has broken between the spindle and latch.
I've tried to pull the spindle out but it won't budge.
I've also tried coat hangers and cards to force the latch to move but the latch is wedged tight.
The door is wooden but it's not swollen and moves at the top and broken when pulled.
Any suggestions to get this monster to move?
