Tried that. Can't get it to budge even kicking the door from the outside.

Is it keyed on both sides? If not, just turn the knob...;) Otherwise, call a locksmith. Should run about $25 or so for a service call, plus $2-$5 to make new keys...He can re-key the lock at the same time, so you don't have to worry about someone finding your keys, figuring out where you live, and using them.

I thought it was going to run me a lot more then that. Hmm. I'll give them a call tomorrow find out how much they charge.
