We are locked out of rv.
Motorhome door lock stuck.
It will swivel on the inside door handle shaft.
But the first thing i would do is go to your local hardware store and gt a piece of carpenter s chalk.
The door latch is stuck in the locked position.
Swing the interior door lock assembly out of the way.
Of course this is after you ve managed to open the storage compartment door.
Let us know how it works out.
Use a pair of pliers to bend the bent lever up into the proper position.
If your lock is stuck.
The door has some jiggle room but one of the latches is still extended far enough to be catching on the door jam.
Thanks again for your post.
Stuck locked door latch.
If you cannot rack or twist the door a little to release that stuck latch your solution of removing the screws might be the better way to go to avoid damaging the door or the center lock assembly.
Global locks have a small lip that can jam and keep the door from opening.
This can be a common problem for rvs with the global lockset.
Karen the dead bolt is a straight mechanical bolt that is usually unaffected like the door lock part.
Perhaps you have your key but the lock won t turn the key gets stuck or the door is jammed and won t open.
The keys for the dead bolt and the latch handle are functional.
How i got in and replaced the lock.
Wipe off your door jam area where the dead bolt would fit and then place a lot of the chalk onto the end of the dead bolt pin itself.
You ll know if you have a global lock because it will have a g on it.
