quick help needed for broken cylindrical door lock

mizmom
16 years ago

The locking mechanism for the door from our house into our garage stopped working with the door locked....brand unknown. The lock would not open from the inside or the outside with a key. We took off the door knobs and all the lock assembly however the "latch bolt" is stuck in the face plate (of course with the door closed) and will not back out. How can we get this thing out without tearing up the door or taking it off the hinges? We are not planning to salvage to door lock or knobs at this point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
