Hello group. Okay here's one for you. Just getting to go on our first shakedown
weekend. I had been cleaning to walls and laminate on the bus. Must have
inadvertantly locked the handle going into the bathroom then closed the door.
It's locked. It is a Perko latch. removed the handle and eschutchen plate on the
outside but still cant figure out how to open it. I am afraid if I push the knob
through I'll be screwed for sure. Any Ideas?

Thank You.

If there is a small hole in the handle try pushing a small rod through that hole to unlock. good luck.

Hey guys I got in ! My buddy across the street has a yacht service. He came over and pushed the stem through the door them used a screwdriver to turn the bolt (latch ). I guess you can't turn out with the stem in there. I feel really stupid being a cabinetmaker and carpenter all of my life. Orwell. Thanks yall! Jeff
