Quiet, you with the functional nonviolent ideas. I want to see pics of the aftermath when he pulls a SWAT-team imitation. 😀

He's so worthless he'd probably snap his leg in two when he tries to kick the door in. Or he like runs at the door, jumps, and bounces off and dislocates his shoulder on impact with the ground.

He'd really have to be pathetic to bust a limb on a door. Shit, I'm a hundred and forty soaking wet and I can bust anything that's not a deadbolt. 😛

Get a coathanger, bend it into a longer hook. Now, hoping it fits in the little gap, just to the right of the lock between the trim and the lock, put the hook through, pull down, then back toward you.

Print out g*atse, then tape it to the lock 'hole down'. After ten minutes, your lock will be soft enough to remove with a butterknife.
