If, for whatever reason your lockable lever style bedroom door handle fails to open then taking off the handle when no one is on the other side of the door is a very very bad idea. Any advise on what I should of done? The best way to describe the issue is that handle was turning but latch was staying firm.
I was on the wrong side of a buggered door handle @Kermit lol. The deaf 85yr old wasn't much help and discovering my bedroom windows don't actually open really didn't help. An hour of banging was finally enough to wake the deaf
