It took the locksmith about 30 seconds to open this door.

$120, or about $14,400 per hour.

@TheEddieShow nice work if you can get it I guess. Glad you have restored access!

@TheEddieShow

I hope they explained how to be certain never to lock it again. A magnetic catch seems a good idea.

Glad you got it opened, but sorry it was so expensive.
@TheEddieShow was it that little hole right above the handle?

@Archergal

Yes. I just didn't have the right tool. I need an ice pick.

@TheEddieShow Back when wire coat hangers were a thing, we used to straighten out the curved end and use them to unlock the bathroom door when a sibling had been in there β€œtoo long”. It was the same sort of mechanism, push something in the hole to unlock.

@Archergal

Classic. The whole locked door I can't get open thing is traumatic for me, for reasons.

@Archergal

Would you think I'm a heathen if I told you I don't use hangers? Folded, in a drawer. Everything.  

@TheEddieShow Not at all! The only wire hangers I still own are old left-overs. I’ve been actively getting rid of wire ones for years.
I do still have lots of plastic and a fair number of wood hangers tho. We have too many clothes to fold away in drawers, alas.

@Archergal

8/$1 white plastic from WalMart were the last ones I bought. 10? years ago.
