If you took the screws out both pieces of the handle should be out of the door now. This leaves the latch. You can stick a think screw driver in where the handle went through. Some will make you twist the screw driver and others you can pull on. It depends on the type. You are trying to move the slide to pull the latch out of the mortise in the jam. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carl To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 6:52 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] ergent help neded

That would be the easiest way. Beyond that, you will need to play around and cause the latch to retract enough to let the door open. Popping the latch can be a problem depending on your skill level. I have used old credit cards and butter knives before. I have some thin sheet metal that works well because it has some spring to it. As a last resort you can always knock out the hinge pins and lift the door out of the jam. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carl To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 5:46 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] ergent help neded i hav a holo cor dor or one of thes egg box cor dors and the dor handle mechanism is not working i'v chequede that thair is no rounding on the corners of the rod that coneckts boath sides of the dors handles to the latch and that's not the problem. how can i get the dor open to remove the latch and replace iit?
