Beware cheap door locks - Got locked in the lav.

[Huckenfell]

I woke up in the night bursting for a leak. The bloody bedroom doorlock would not work, desperate i had to hang out the window. Not bragging, but the prickly bushes one foot down had me worried.  ????

Now you know as well as everyone else that, at an older age, going for a leak (No. 1) can turn in to a No. 2 if you f%+t mid stream ????.

90% of the time you can lift the lid off the tank and use the lever attached to the ballcock valve but hey, to each their own. ????

Our ballcock is not linked to the bathroom door.

That's odd, when I leave the bathroom I always feel flushed.

Please explain how that would have solved the issue in the OP?

Hollered to Madam, finally got her to pass me a knife through the window (downstairs lav) and managed to wriggle the tongue open and make good my escape.

 

Thats why you need a knife in your pocket?

Yeah, that probably would have worked, unfortunately my keys usually live with my wallet and phone, sat on the dining table.

I do like the gadget, it seems pretty handy. I just saw the youtube video promoting it.

The price quoted was $6-$10.

Is it available in Thailand would you know?

At my age, I would much rather be locked inside a toilet than than to be locked out of it.

Here's a thought.  Maybe add a few more gadgets, like screwdrivers, cork screw, scissors, hmm what else?  I think that would make a great product.????

Don't forget the device for getting boy-scouts out of horse's hooves.

Ha ha, yes.

The point is that Utili-key is small enough to put on your key chain as it's the same size as an ordinary key, rather than a larger Swiss Army Knife.

After reading all the harrowing experiences on here of posters stuck in their loo I made a quick dash to Global House for supplies.

Took quite a bit of drilling and sawing but eventually I’m finished and quite happy with the results.

 

 

 

 

 

Put one in each bathroom so now I’m safe ............................... phew !!

The Elsan comment reminds me of when my parents decided to buy a caravan and joined the local Caravan Club.

As a quite rebellious youngster I wasn’t allowed to stay at home and had to accompany them sitting in some field most weekends !!

 

To add insult to injury it was my job to empty the chemical toilet too ????

Not a bathroom, but a tragic outcome nonetheless.

I had the same with my bedroom door when I was in the living space …. blocked , key turns but nothing else moved …. lucky I have the habit after going out and coming in from example shopping to change trousers and hang them on the terrace , as others I would be in my underwear to go for help ….

Even when I dressed and look for help (as my tools are in such a plastic big container in the bedroom ) , the helping hand guy from condo office could not dismantle the lock , just needed to break  the door by bouncing in , lucky minor damage ….

 

But really suppose someone has this problem in a toilet, and living alone ….So best keep a cheap burner phone that place stored !

Oh well, thanks for asking  anyway. I'll have to try exploring some other options.
