As I was cleaning the boat yesterday I went to open the bathroom/head door and could not. The handle will not turn. It seems to be locked although no one was in the bathroom :). There are some folding chairs in there which could have (?) jostled around and locked the door but that seems far-fetched. Anyway I prefer not to break the handle or door and the little window to the outside is, of course, locked as well. Any suggestions on how I might break into my bathroom without breaking anything? My biggest trip of the year is the Opsail Baltimore event in 10 days and we've invited several guests. Help appreciated!
 
W/out being at my boat is there a way to tap the hinge pins out? It opens out, so the hinges should be on the outside.
 
I will take a look at my 25 in a little bit and see if I can figure out how to get in.
 
Look up your lock set on Google and see if there is some method built into it for unlocking from the outside. I can't imagine them making a latch without it. Mine unlocks with the cabin door key. I would't be surprised if there's a little hole to stick a pin in or something.

Good luck!
 
Credit Card at the "keeper"? And, being a 2011, it was built by Triton. Call them and ask..

Wow, that's a lot of replies in a short amount of time. Thank you, I will try and then report back.
 
Quick reply, untried - there is a little rubber "button" on the outside of the door, opposite the lock. You might try pulling that off to see if you can insert something to unlock the door.
 
I believe that that hinges are screwed from the outside-You can just remove the screws on the door and take it off that way--about a 5 minute job with a drill.
 
There is a small black rubber button righ above the door handle. Pop that off and use a medium flat blade screw driver and you can unlock from the outside.
