Internal door stuck. Help!

[Cigaro]

Hi all,

I've just got a phone call from my Mrs - she has shut the internal door between living room and kitchen in our house and she says she can't get it open again.

She is on the living room side, so the door opens inwards from her side.

She can't go round the back and go in via the back door as she's left a key in it.

Here's a pic:

She thinks the latch mechanism is bust, apparently it's turning like normal but she doesn't think it's moving the actual latch.

Any idea how I can get it open? I have limited tools as all my stuff is on the other side of the door.

Cheers for any help.

If you can get into the kitchen then use a sliver of plastic from a pop bottle and slide it in between the door and frame like in the movies , if not then from the side your in try and push some string in the gap above the latch and the fish it back out below the latch then pull making sure the door doesn't spring back and latch itself again
