It's so cute they try to stick their paws underneath the door and when I stick my fingers underneath them to wave at them they start licking them and I'll pull them away and look underneath and see their little noses trying to sniff under the door...I'll toss a kibble underneath the door and they'll go chasing after it.

Are there any buttons or holes on your side of the doorknob?

New age interior door handles have a little screw type button near the handle. All you have to do is use a small screwdriver and push/turn the little screw/button.

If you don't have this, another way is to use a credit card (preferably an old one that you can risk damaging), and attempt to slide it between the door and the frame. Personally, I use a laminated card. The goal is to get the card to slip enough to get in contact w/ the door pin. YOu want to push the door pin so that it recedes back into the door itself. You will probably have to wiggle the door back and forth to hopefully free up some room to slide the card through. This method may or may not work depending on the amount of clearance your door has to the frame.

After this whole ordeal, change the door knob so that you have a way to open the doorknob from the outside in case of situations like this. Home Depot will have door knobs for you.

I tried that and it didnt work. I think my husbands gonna have to take the knob off. Its an older type of knob. Unfortunately he had to get some new tires for his van and wont be home untill after 5 o'clock.

Awww...poor baby!! I would end up kicking the door in! And then make my husband buy a new one that doesn't lock!

DomLee · 11-07-2005, 01:59 PM

I would tell you to taken apart the door knob, but I don't know how mechanically inclined you are w/ taking things apart. I don't want to give you the wrong advice and make things worse.

My advise though...in case of SEVERE emergency...Go medieval on that door/doorknob. Great for stress relief! Use a bat, a hammer, an axe, etc.
