  Pull the handle down and hip and shoulder it.

      Try pulling the door towards you then pull down on the handle and push.

      I have to do this when my for swells from the heat at times.

      Only thing I’m unsure of is if the key is actually unlocking the door for you.

      Do you have the tradie’s reply as a text? If so, then call the fire brigade - and tell them that you are trapped. And mention that the tradie the REA specified can’t attend until next week. Ask if they have a tradie they can recommend who IS available. Give the REA’s details as the contact if you’re game.

        The fire brigade don’t make tradie recommendations. The only advice you will be given is to call a locksmith. There are plenty of 24hr locksmiths around, finding one and arranging it are up to you.

        The only reason to call the fire brigade if you are locked in (or out) is if there is a life threatening emergency, like having an infant locked inside unatended or if you are a diabetic needing to access your insulin. In that case the brigade can attend and break the door down for you.

        No, I called the tradie and he told me he’s not working. I just met the REA as she was in the building and she’s arranged for someone else to come let me in. Hopefully this one comes soon.

        What I don’t understand is, how does the REA not know that the tradie is not working? How did they assign him a job without checking??? 🙄
